Update on good Ethernet switch
I read everywhere the LHY SWs are at the same level if not superior to pricier switches. Is this valid when comparing other switches without an external LPS? I’m deciding between the SW6 and the Sotm SNH10G with a Jcat OPTIMO 3 duo LPS. Any advic... 
SoTM switch Vs LHY SW8
Any advice between the 2?

@pdreher I understand your POV. Do you have a network switch too?

@tonywinga I’m a bad musician and waste too much money in my guitars and audiophile stuff but… hey, we live once.

@pdreher how about a streamer in between the NUC and the MSB DAC? I don’t have files. Only Qobuz from Roon.

750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
Accidentally fell on this thread. I have a fanless NUC i7 8th gen with an MSB Discrete DAC with renderer module and wondering if getting an Antipodes K22. Now I have doubts….  
Can an audio rack be that important?
WAF and practicality will lead me to sit my system on a USM modular rack on WHEELS! I know some of you are giving me the palm face but the location of the system and its weight would make cables swapping too hard otherwise. Each component will sit... 
Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?
I wonder if what I often read is correct. That high current / high powered amps improve significantly the sound rendition at low listening volume like 60db.  
High end speakers at low volume
@steve59 thanks! That might be a good option for me too!

High end speakers at low volume
@elliottbnewcombjr the stands were part of the deal and they are very good. I had custom stands with my previous speakers which were made of so called anti resonance steel platforms and solid walnut legs. They were stunning and loved by my wife. U...

@scott828 I know the thread is not short and people may have missed it but I have purchased a pair of TAD ME1 as showroom demo in mint condition. I love love love them and they sound terrific with the Vitus and at low volume too. Of course they co... 
High end speakers at low volume
@elliottbnewcombjr agree 100% that need to boost up frequencies if you want to enjoy - I repeat enjoy and not having a perfect curve - music at low volume. I just need to find the easiest and less invasive component in any sense. I think the Loki ... 
High end speakers at low volume
@phusis my need is exactly to have presets to play music at a specific range of db, between 60 and 70db. The Anthem preamplifier seems to be a good solution with good feedbacks from users.
