Network Switches

@jason_k2017

You must try to understand that almost everything can introduce EM/RF noise. Every single device from the audio server, through every device my audio passes through on the internet and then my exchange to my router to my DAC can. Dozens and possibly hundreds of devices. But none of those sites think it necessary to use a magic cable or a magic switch. You really, really ought to attend a course on digital audio, or research it yourself

You must be kidding me, right??? No one believes it’s necessary to use cables or other devices to negate the negative effects of EM/RF noise that you finally concede can contribute to an audio chain via every source with an electricity source?? Seriously? Nordost, AQ, Isotek, PS Audio, Furman, Synergistic etc all have entire product lines to deal with EXACTLY this issue. No one calls it "magic" like you do - it’s all just reasonable isolation, shielding, grounding, and energy dissipation techniques that measurably work.

Why should I take a course on digital?  This noise has NOTHING to do with the digital signal.  Go do your own research.

I would respond, but unfortunately I have bullshit all over my shoes.

You know what people don't claim a 164 IQ in an internet discussion?  ... people who actually have a 164 IQ. They don't need to because it is evident in their communication.

I would save your lies for people who won't call you out on it. If you had an IQ of 164, that would place you approximately 1 / 100,000. Your reading comprehension issues are clear indicators that that is not the case.

p.s. that would be:

• 70s , not  '70s
• highest level, not higest
• Oh, but I forgot 
  

So let me get this right. You have an IQ of 164, but you were part of the test group?


It is interesting that you were "part of the test group in the early 80s. So exactly which group was this?

jason_k201714 posts11-04-2019 4:25pmActually no. I was lecturing on modulation techniques in digital communications in the '70s. I was part of the test group for Quadrature Amplitude Modulation utilizing Trellis Encoding in the early '80s And my IQ of 164 got me into the higest levels of military technology development

Oh but I forgot...........   I am ignorant

Can you tell me how many of those devices reconstruct a 100+ db dynamic range analog baseband signal?

I am truly sorry to all those in here who were trying to give me a sensible answer. All I wanted was a straight knowledgeable answer

But I really can not put up any longer with this ignorant, jealous moron atdavid

To be honest when my experts replied to me regarding these nonsense products they did also warn me that I would find idiots like him on any ‘audiophile’ forum.

Ok atdavid, I give in. You are the big man, you are always right, everybody else has to listen to you and your ears are so much better than mine, and your equipment is the finest in the world and you know ten times more than me about digital communications and...and...and

You have achieved your objective of wearing me down with your insults and general assholishness (did I spell that correctly?

and yes it was measured 164 (around 130 more than you, it would seem)

As I have my experts’ replies I no longer need to listen to his drivel

Bye

I had said as follows in one of my posts dated 10-29-2019:

... the risetimes, falltimes, noise characteristics, and distortion characteristics of the signal received by the audio component from the network switch or router that is immediately upstream of that component are almost exclusively a function of the network switch or router that is immediately upstream of that component.
