ETHERNET CABLES
I like non-noise. And what he thinks. And how he approaches this hobby. Fred shows the worst of this place, of this hobby. Have learnt to not read anything he says. Good thing too, because my system is sounding the best it ever has. I know. Star...

@dpcoffey  4 posts? And snarky with it? Your supercilious attitude would fit in well at ASR.

I've read in a few places to make sure the last ethernet cable to your streamer is your best cable. Which I've done. I'm pretty sure Pete at Triode Wire Labs does a 30 day guarantee for standard lengths.  
Triode Wire Labs
I'm really enjoying my Triode Wire Labs Freedom ethernet cables. Run it from the wall outlet to network switch, and then switch to streamer.  
First Streamer...
I love my Project Stream Box S2 ultra  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@wsrrsw  I had been considering a network switch for a while. Bought a modded one from Audiophool.nl (he sold me a Ciso 2960). When it arrived, I realised I needed something with a smaller footprint. Thought the 2960 could then go at the modem ... 
Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500
A little over the budget, but streams ahead of the Cambridge is a Gustard R26.  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Plugged in my modded network switch over the weekend. A Cisco SG110D-8. Modded by adding a C4Mk2 clock from Fidelity Audio. Also added a new DDC, USB cable, LAN isolators, and ethernet cables to the system. Initially couldn’t get sound from the ... 
What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?
Plugged in my Audio GD DI-20HE DDC over the weekend. Also added a new modded network switch, USB cable, and ethernet cables. The sound was 'jaw dropping,' At some stage will evaluate on its own, but as part of a whole, brilliant.  
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Just ordered a set of Auditorium 23 jumper cables.  
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
On Monday night bought an Audio GD DI-20HE DDC. It arrived on Friday. Not high-end; more mid-end.    
Linear power supply
@robshaw  I have a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. A wonderful piece. They say no benefit adding a linear power supply due to John Westlake's design.  Almost certainly going to get a Plixir Elite BDC Dual. Have space limitations. Would feed my netw... 
DAC suggestions
Another possibility is a Soekris 2541. The Gustard R26 is well received as well.   I may end up with an RME ADI-2 as my headphone Dac in the bedroom. Attach my Project Stream Box S2 Ultra to it (probably a year away).        
Linear power supply
I've seen that Audio Bacon review. As a consequence will be replacing my LPS with a Plixir Elite BDC Dual. Considered the Ferrum Audio Hypsos for its reviews, quality and flexibility.
