I keep reading about this fiber conversion step and it has me scratching my head vs the Network Acoustic passive ethernet options. Been there and done that with fiber and the NA passive filter and cables easily surpass the sound quality of the fiber gymnastics options IMHO. I suggest trying the Network Acoustic options as they have a nice trial period. You won’t be disappointed if your system is reasonably resolving. The Muon filter and network cable did wonders for my digital streaming. I have moved up to the Muon Pro and think it is well worth the investment.
Why do I need a switch?
I just watched a few videos about audiophile switches and I don’t understand the need. Cable comes into my home and goes to a modem and then a NetGear Nighthawk router. I can run a CAT6 to my system or use the wireless. If you don’t need more ports, why add something else in the signal path? On one of the videos the guy was even talking about stacking several switches with jumpers and it made the sound even better. He supposedly bought bunch’s of switches at all ranges and really liked a NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS108Ev3) That costs $37 on Amaz.
Thanks in advance.
