I am truly sorry to all those in here who were trying to give me a sensible answer. All I wanted was a straight knowledgeable answer But I really can not put up any longer with this ignorant, jealous moron atdavidTo be honest when my experts repl...

@atdavid See here is the thing, when my battery is starting to run down in my BT headset, I know .... the sound starts to change. The bits are the same, but the sound coming out, you know that antiquated analog stuff .... ya, that starts to fal...

This is so very frustrating. I came on hear to ask a simple question about a digital switch and all I get is people trying to show off their extensive but completely irrelevant knowledge of old technology hurling abuse at me to cover their total i...

@three_easy_paymentsing Just because the sound is better after inserting a new switch does not mean the switch affected the encoded audio. Couldn't improvements be due solely to a reduction of RF/EM noise in the chain? So you are saying 'yes, a...

and ' for the umpteenth time' almargCan a digital switch, as the manufacturers and 'reviewers' say it can, improve audio and video streams passing through it. ?If you don't know just say so 
Network Switches
Ok , lets forget, for the moment, analog v digital,cables, harmonics, power supplies etc etcEvery single manufacturer and supplier of these special ‘audiophile’ switches and every single ‘reviewer’ claims that these switches will "improve"  the d...

Still nobody is answering meWhy, if the digital signal is not being degraded and is therefore reaching its destination intact (which is all that matters), do I need a 'special' switch 
Network Switches
No, only a one or two people who do not understand digital data transmission have suggested degradation of the digital signal. That vast majority of the posts have spoke to electrical noise being the most likely culprit. So if electrical nois...

@atdavid With few exceptions in this thread, and we can discount them, has anyone suggested that the signal or data degrades.This has thrown meYes, many of you have. It is the whole point of this thread and my original questionSeveral people have ...

@nonoise @jason_k2017, are you suggesting that what you're hearing is exactly as it was encoded? That your DAC is perfect? The one thing I do know is that if you decode an encoded stream in a quality DAC with the the same codec with which it was... 
Network Switches
@nonoise are you suggesting that I can improve on hearing a piece of music that sounds exactly as it sounded when it was encoded? And I can acheive that with a switch?Or are you suggesting that my DAC does not decode properly? @almarg  interactio...

DavidI am just trying to understand how a DACs performance can be improved beyond an already faithful reproduction. 
Network Switches
@david_ten  and forgive me,  but if something is faithfully reproduced, it can not be 'more faithfully' reproduced 
Network Switches
@david_ten Thanks for the replyBut this doesnt realy answer my questionI currently have a high end DAC reproducing audio exactly as it was digitised. Why would I install a switch that the manufacturers say will change that?

Hiya everybodyI am a music lover (not an audiophile) who has spent a reasonable amount of money to listen to music as close as possible as to having sat in the front row of where the music was recorded               A large part of my budget was ...
