Network Switches

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

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.

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.

Jason, jason, jason:

You got the answer you asked, repeatedly, from many sources. What you did not get is the answer you wanted, and the one that agreed with what you had already decided before you asked.

For all your claims of intelligence, as opposed to calling others morons, you illustrated not one iota of knowledge about the topic of the discussion. You kept repeating "digital is digital" which no one in this thread was disagreeing with. Why did you keep asking it?

What is really strange, now, is that you said **YOU** were the expert, 164 IQ and all. And yet, you said something like this twice, "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."

If you have "EXPERTS", then why are you here, on a consumer audiophile forum, looking for answers and calling other people idiots? I don’t come on here looking for experts in digital communications and analog reconstruction in potentially noisy digital systems. That is what engineering forums are for. This obviously is not one.


I have no illusions I am always right and if I did, my wife would be sure to remind me that i am not. However, I will go out on a limb with a hypothesis that you did come here expecting to tell everyone they are wrong, but you ran into people who know enough and are confident enough in the topic (at a technical level) not be bullied on it.


The floor is always open if you would like to share with us your deep knowledge of analog electronics and noise control in mixed analog / digital systems as this topic has almost nothing to do with digital communications no matter how often you tried to bring the topic back to it. If you read this thread there are many hints on aspects of the topic that could be discussed, even some hints on how the packaging of digital data can have an impact on analog noise.

You said it very clearly, and concisely almarg, but unfortunately, someone was choosing not to listen.
