Good Ethernet switch

Thanks to everyone for your replies! Probably best to wait and get the Phoenix. I’m about to get a really good phono set that will press the issue for the network switch.

A smattering of recent past forum posts on AGON that are worthy to revisit before buying boutique audiophile recommended switch options, and network tech expert opinions therein.

Network Switches

Here are a few...
Melco S100 (just announced) https://www.melco-audio-masters.com/upl ... eet_v3.pdf

" ... No, I have not, nor will I ever. Having been a network technician for over 30 years I know that a network switch’s job is to faithfully receive packets and transmit them to their intended target. If it doesn’t do that it will be replaced as defective. Implying that these devices can color audio signals is patently ridiculous, but I knew at some point some one would try it and some one would buy it...."
 

Can rfi/emi/electrical noise affect an analog signal transmitted over a cable?

@alvin1118 For someone without much technical knowledge about power supply tech, can you share anything about the power supply on that LHY Audio 8-port switch you recommended?  Any additional thoughts on why you recommend it?

Geez…That switch is built like a tank!
