Update on good Ethernet switch

I’ve worked in Enterprise networks for 30+ years. Fairly confident I have a better understanding of this than most members here. The base product this item is created from is a $40 limited function Ethernet switch.

@rjmcinnis Enterprise networks have nothing to do with sound quality and give you exactly zero credibility here.  In addition to the aluminum case this unit has an upgraded clock and dumps the crap SMPS for a LPS.  These are not small upgrades, and if you don’t understand this you’re completely out of your depth here.  Look up Jay’s Audio for transports — they know a lot more than you do when it comes to audio.  Period.  Stick to enterprise networks where you’re clearly more qualified but has little to do with high-end audio.  Or are we gonna just get into the “bits are bits” BS conversation here?

@txp1 Until you run an actual wire to your system, don't bother with upgrades such as this.  Jerry

@rjmcinnis I've found that IT professionals can be the last ones to understand digital audio because it is so different that the stuff they have done their entire career and they contribute a lot to the slowness of adiophiles to figure it out.  I recommend keeping an open mind.

Big +1 @carlsbad2 They let dogma prevent their ears from hearing.  Their loss.

+1 -- Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read the post.
