$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
I see you have a dedicated power line. I’ve read where two seperate power runs, one for digital, one for analogue has worked. Have a look at that as a possibility.   Would also investigate a power conditioner. Puritan PSM 156 is getting positiv... 
Use of Switch to Improve Streaming Quality
After much research, it was between the Sablon 2020 and TWL Freedom Ethernet cables.  
Use of Switch to Improve Streaming Quality
The switches were updated with a Fidelity Audio clock in the UK and Audiophool mods in the Netherlands. I was looking for items around the $400-$600 mark, switch included. many different ways to do this, and plenty of opinions to sift through.  
Use of Switch to Improve Streaming Quality
Meicord are no longer made. Was well thought of a few years ago. Pete at Triode Wire Labs is a decent guy, and offers 30 days returns policy on standard lengths. I was thinking of a UK Ethernet cable (I’ll remember the brand shortly), but it wa... 
Power Cord choices
Saving up for Coherent Systems (UK) 4D and 6D power cables.  
Gustard R26
I know a few who have added a Leo Bodnar external clock to the Gustard R26, which makes a significant improvement.

I have one modded network switch from modem to router, 10m of Cat5 Ethernet cable (which I can’t change), another modded network switch with two LAN isolators to my streamer. All pieces on decent linear power supplies. Meicord Opal Ethernet cabl...

@wlp3  That's good news. I've only got a week to wait. Certainly curious the effect they have on stand mounts. The Sound Anchors stands I bought a couple of weeks ago are well thought of, and have certainly improved things. Nice speakers you have.  
Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
@milpai I read recently in these instances a long run of optical cable using an ethernet media converter at each end ensures no unwanted noise inserted along the length.  
Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
Or perhaps just shove off?

@roxy54 I am sceptical of many things. How can that possibly make an audible difference? I’ve had to eat my words (or really, my thoughts) a few times. The biggest was system supports. Had sorbothane and Vibrapods. Couldn’t really tell the diff...

Puzzling, maybe for you. But I would without hesitation join nonoise for a cup of tea. You just pass on by.

@zavato  Apologies for the bickering. Freddy22, panzerwaggin, cakhole, and others (12 many joins) continually try to ruin open discussions by spouting their 'networking' knowledge. Side with them at your peril. The winners in this? Those who ha...
