Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
I run an Ethernet cable between my router (standard issue from Verizon) and my streaming transport. I note that some use an ethernet switch between between the router and streamer. Assuming I got that right, what is the point- what does a good switch do? I've been into audio since the 70's but when its comes to streaming, I'm definitely a newbie-
Thanks all!
"@yoyoyaya and we are back to bias. the facts of how a switch works doesn’t change. It is not an intelligent device that can make decisions based on what is transported via the switch." @fredrik222 That is amusing. Where was it suggested that a switch is an intelligent device? Though to be fair, my switch doesn't post on this forum so, possibly, that does suggest it's an intelligent device. |

Now that is rich. He's kept nothing at bay by being haughty, condescending and insulting, twisting the results of past conversations (at least with me), displaying his usual arrogance. He may be your cup of tea but not others. All the best, |
@erik_squires I think you nailed it. Converting to digital and back may add more noise than the fiber prevents. We just had to splice a fiber line accidentally cut at our plant, and what a pain. We had $100k worth of special equipment mounted on it's own truck and 8 technicians. It was important and time sensitive but wow, what a production. Jerry |
