Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch


I am running a SGC sonic transporters i5 with a Bricasti M5 streamer and M3 Dac.

Thinking of trying to upgrade the sound a bit.  I wonder what is the most cost effective way; linear power supply vs network switch vs the optical unit from SGC.

Any thoughts?

Yep, the JCAT items all top flight products, using Optimo S ATX LPS on my custom build streamer, $6k, provides three rails all with 30amp capability, major, major contributor to awesome streaming.

 

Also, see Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines review of Sonore Signature Rendu   Quite the opposite of thin and dry. 

 

I'm of a view we are still in discovery phase of network optimization, new products coming out all the time.

@sns you seem to be really high on these guys from Hong Kong at After Dark. ??

@jerryg123  Not really, never owned or tried prior to this purchase. By the way Finisar is US company out of Sunnyvale California.

@sns well their products are made in Mylasia at least that is what the picture from the guys in Hong Kong are showing. I do not really care where it is made as long as it works...

What electronic product isn't manufactured and/or doesn't use Asian manufactured parts these days.

 

I love to experiment and streaming gives me the greatest opportunity these days, AfterDark looks to be on cutting edge of that. Small Green computer/Sonore also offers Finisar optical transceiver as upgrade for their products, in speaking to Andrew discovered it was not the enterprise grade Finisar, which is mostly out of stock and/or selling for over $300 at some rip off sites. Supply chain issues and great demand for this particular module, also some clones out there, not same quality as Finisar. I gather Finisar US specs the modules, outsources manufacturing to Asia, whats new.
