Ethernet switches the good and bad
Hello myself and northeast Audio club have done a lot of testing ,
a simple switch is very noisy , I own both uptone audio ,Ether regen ,around $5-650 as well as Sonore deluxe. Both of these needs high quality Linear Power Supply to truly be optimum ,by far the best best built and sonically is the Linear Tube Audio is a great buy and over 6 pounds with a very good Dc cable modt chsrge $150 extra the only upgrade That works is fuse to synergistic purple and put a decent power cord a solid 10% improvement still the Linear Tube Audio LPS is $750
one company in Hong Kong by friend tried Ediscreation - extreme is pretty decent but at $1800 Waay over priced s Hong Kong dollar very over priced, and if any issue send back to Hong Kong ,very $$
by far the best I have heard is the Synergistic Ethernet switch which comes with the $200 purple fuse,a $500 power cord it Retails $2200 but can be bought around $1700 and built in high end power supply ,this is actually a excellent product your streaming is much much more analog and detailed ,my brother owns one and that may be my next purchase. in my system it made a nice improvement and I already have a Denafrips Hermes DDC that cleans up digital noise very well . Each product mentioned above works to cleanup noise coming after the router, which BTW
I bought a LPS 12v up to 8amp from little green computer for $299 and put a Pangea sig power cord with a synergistic Orange fuse. Got rid of the noisy junk wall wart plug , a noticeable improvement and made even wifi signal to TV better, yes these are tweaks but, being a Audiophile nothing is off the table to try .I just wanted to mention this ,and see what others maybe using , Enjoy you 🎶 music 🎼

Logicial fallacy: ad hominem. We’re talking about digital audio and ethernet here. Many users report hearing differences after installing an ethernet switch or making other network improvements. Let’s please keep it on topic. |
Currently I am auditioning a very well built Audiophile Ethernet switch under $600 with very good regulation and a very rare for the rice over controlled clock . as usual I always max out it’s potential ,a inexpensive Pangea power cord $150 is a noticeable increase in fidelity and a synergistic Purple fuse discounted $160 to gain a solid 7+% is a bargain in Audiophile terms .I give this unit 250:hours before stating the results .the competition requires a external power supply ,this has a LPS plus regulated power supplies . In the $600 range with Built in $600 Is within the reach of most everyone and the fuse and power cord can be added later and still reap most of the rewards.I just received it 2 days ago. |
@audioman58 : and this exceptional $600 switch is? Brand? Model? Thanks |
