Why Do Cables Matter?
I think you are the arrogant one. Have no time or interest in anything you post. ASR is a much better site for you.  
Update on good Ethernet switch
@fthompson251 Wifi router to optical adapter via Ethernet. Optical out to modded Cisco 2960 switch (which has optical in). Switch to streamer. I have a couple of Teradak linear power supplies. One I’ll use on my modem. They are decent power sup...

I have severe space limitations with my system. But did finally upgrade from the MacBook. Was also using Audirvana Plus. Found the Project Stream Box S2 Ultra to suit my purpose. Although at the lower end of streamers, it was designed by John Wes...

$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...
