Basic switch....should I upgrade?

@wsrrsw 

Thank you for the info. Like you, I also prefer LAN cables over fiber. The fiber sounded ‘bland’ in my system. 

@lalitk Yah...who would have thought fiber wouldn't be the end all? Checked out you system. Wow! Good on you.  (My Dad had Tannys and my mom in a deserved  fit of anger gave them away along with the rest of the excellent stereo.) I'm guessing you might have been to a certain La Verne, California destination?. 

Plugged in my modded network switch over the weekend.

A Cisco SG110D-8. Modded by adding a C4Mk2 clock from Fidelity Audio.
Also added a new DDC, USB cable, LAN isolators, and ethernet cables to the system.

Initially couldn’t get sound from the streamer over ethernet. Switched to wifi to check connections/settings. Got it working. Had a quick listen. Back to ethernet, and an immediate and big improvement in sound. Upon further listening, it was ’jaw dropping,’

At some stage will evaluate the switch on its own, but as part of a whole, brilliant.

@jerrybj How did you come up with those mods and build please? Did you put it together yourself? What’s the overall cost? I’m not asking for my self but we know there’s more than just a little bit of interest in ethernet improvement from the old blue cable.
