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 🎼

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. 

I promised the MFG that I would give it 250 + hours or so before stating my thoughts .these oven clocks take a solid 300 hours from my experience at minimum. the upgraded cable, and synergistic purple fuse is my choosing for 

most everyone knows a decent quality power cord makes improvements ,

as well as the many reviews on the Synergistic purple fuse ,which I feel well worth the extra $300 +595 on the switch  . To some 5-7% is not a big enough improvement ,if you have $500+  powercords to put on any Ethernet or LPS will be 

a noticeable improvement vs the 💩 crappy stock power cord.  And I own 

the Sonore ,and uptone audio Ethernet converters ,stay tuned .

Here up is one very good upgrade that many people overlook when streaming 

I bought a 12v up to 8 amp Linear Power Supply for my router from little green computer $295 , most have a modem-router combo this makes a noticeable upgrade ,I added a Pangea power cord and started with a Synergistic blue fuse,

pThe purple fuse through parts connecxion with 20% off sale Va very nice Sonic improvement if you stream it is essential for at bare minimum a 5% improvement 

I also bough5 a upgraded DC cable from LPS to the router, if you just run music from a hard drive ,then not worth it ,but for streaming a must.

I bought a Motorola 8702 which has the latest docsis 3.1 ,many still has 3.0 

3.1 has a 4 core processor 4x faster,bigger buffer and Wifi is even better for Roku on tv.
