I think that if someone is going to listen to music and keep thinking that it would sound better with a better switch, they should buy the better switch. Then they can relax their brain and enjoy more. Until the next thing that has to be changed creeps into their brain.

If you have bought an "audio" Ethernet switch, don't bother with this thread
If you question Ethernet switches, here is one test of one brand.

@tvrgeek - I would wager that anyone who buys a better switch already knows that they don’t measure better. They just want them and I think that’s a good enough reason. I think Alvin from Vinshine (Denafrips) said it best. He said that as a computer professional he knows the switch doesn’t make a difference, but as an audiophile, he wants to feel he is doing everything to make sure his system is the best it can be. Yes, he does sell switches, but that doesn’t mean his comment isn’t true. People want what they want. Leave ‘em alone and let them have fun. |
Except, there seems to be a contingent here who absolutely, positively, believes they make differences ( or sell them themselves, I don;t know) and do their best to convince other who are happy with their systems that they are wrong and their systems stink unless they shell out copious amounts for snake oil. A big disservice to the community in search of better sound. I try to suggest facts. Then one can decide if they want to feel better or not. Not everyone knows how IP works so it is not hard for the fraudsters to take advantage of them. Just wanting it is a perfectly good reason to buy it. Ascribing magic to it is not a reason to install inferiority to some one else. I have stated MANY times, if it makes you happy, then you are happy. Real or imagined as everything we hear is actually imagined. |
