Network Switches

@jason_k2017

even the very highest quality digital audio stream is a breeze.

This isn’t (solely) about having good or great latency for your streaming purposes.

Why would I install something which will change the audio that the studio took so much care to create, and my DAC has taken so much care to faithfully reproduce?

Consider a switch as being an ’equal’ / component-level... as you do your DAC.

In my limited personal experience, the better the feed to the DAC the better the DAC’s performance. And, using your word, the more "faithful" the system's performance.

Thanks for the reply
But this doesnt realy answer my question
I currently have a high end DAC reproducing audio exactly as it was digitised. Why would I install a switch that the manufacturers say will change that?

@david_ten 
and forgive me,  but if something is faithfully reproduced, it can not be 'more faithfully' reproduced

Jason: please forgive me, for I cannot answer your questions. My use of your word faithful was in quotes....   : )

I am just trying to understand how a DACs performance can be improved beyond an already faithful reproduction.
