Network Switches
@thyname When I originally read about the EtherREGEN it was 3AM. Now that I had my 2 hours of sleep I looked at this again with full mental agility. :)It seems the question I need answering is what goes into the streaming endpoint in the EtherREGE...

I can help you understand, although it’s self explanatory.ultraRendu has optical input. So you need a fiber cable to feed it. So you ‘turn around” the EtherRegen. I am not the sharpest tool in the toolbox so I still do not get it. I think you m... 
Network Switches
For the few people who have an endpoint with optical input (the excellent Sonore opticalRendu comes to mind), one can “turn around” the EtherREGEN and feed that DAC-connected endpoint from the optical cage, while connecting the lone ‘B’-side por...

This EtherRegen device seems like it would be better than 2 Sonore opticalModules to go from Ethernet RJ45 -> OM -> Fiber Optical Ethernet -> OM -> Ethernet RJ45. Simpler seems better to me but I have not heard either. The Sonore modul... 
Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok
One has a Fiber Optic input.

@grannyring  Are you stating that you have already tried the fiber optical connection to your audio system?@uberwaltz Awesome.

@thyname Given your history with the Sonore products what is your opinion on the Sonore products and their place in this thread's discussion about Network Switches. My experience will have me continue to stay with the Rendu. 
Network Switches
I have been using Sonare products since the first day the microRendu became available. After I used the Rendus' I became confident that, FOR ME, the Rendu isolated the computer processing from the audio signal. What I mean is that a busy CPU did...

I am back to this discussion and will tout the Sonare product again. See the post below about eliminating the noise that these switches are also trying to eliminate.  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/heard-the-computer-audio-design-gc1/post... 
Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW)
You MAY need room correct if your speakers are too big for your room. Why would you want to have too big speakers for a room, well because. Some of these "get of my lawn posters" likely cannot think beyond there own reality. Don't list to any dips... 
Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW)
The first link I provided explains Linn's rational. Linn actually thinks along the lines, how can you do this properly with a microphone given the problems associated with that, such as the background noise you face. Linn has a long diatribe again... 
Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW)
Sounds like you already have a DSP unit. If not, you can consider the Linn Selekt DSM which does not use a microphone, instead it uses math.https://www.linn.co.uk/technology/space-optimisationhttps://www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/reviews/2... 
Vinyl and Lyngdorf TDAI-3400?
Nothing to do with vinyl but I will add this post about the Lyngdorf 3400.I am going to demo the Lyngdorf 3400 with a Yamaha amp (or SimAudio 860 v2) and the Yamaha NS 5000 speakers this month. I want to see if the Yamaha NS 5000 is something that... 
Experience with Linn Select DSM?
My post above mistakenly stated that the single analogue input was phono. There is actually a phono input and an additional aux analogue input for things like a tuner. That analogue input will be converted to digital.Just an FYI. I am posting this... 
Preamp recommendation
https://www.schiit.com/guides/choosing-amps-preamps Home Theater Integration, $0. Okay, all you "home theater bypass" guys. All of our preamps offer true home theater bypass. Just plug in your processor's front channels to any input, select P...
