Update on good Ethernet switch


ASI mentioned before I didnot want to say the brand until I heard the Ethernet switch not only after 300 hours which was recommended having a OX over controlled clock , 

and with what myself always do the weak link on any audio component starts with the stock power cord , for minimal monies the Pangea using Cardas grade 1 copper 6-9s. Awg14 sig,Mk2 , and getting rid of the 50 cent bottle neck fuse I put in a 1.25amp 20mm L ,slow blow synergistic purple fuse  these increase fidelity at least 5-7% the switch itself At least 5%  if you know the name Jays audio for transports ,his other company LHY Audio  the SW8 Ethernet switch for   $595 nothing has all this in a nice machined aluminum case , even the uptone ether regen or Sonore deluxe  using a with fiber optic which btw lessens the realism imo both were used witha Sbooster2 LPS , ,theSW8 Ethernet switch  is a great buy ,and if you add a decent power cord  and upgrade the fuse you  will be rewarded further , 7 of us reviewed this and 6 out of 7 thought it was a noticeable improvement vs the others  there were2 other brands which were more ,that were not even that good and had switch mode pS

@soix $30 switch marked up as “audiophile”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQ3YvR3Eo&t=1012s

 

the Uptone Etherregen components are cheap and add up to less than <$30 too, so more than 2000% markup.

@jerrybj  curious, how did you add a clock to a switch that doesn’t have an input for a clock?

That's not curiosity. Is rather, a subtle questioning of intelligence. 

Research does wonders when you don't know the items/upgrades discussed. 

For everyone saying that network professionals can’t provide value, do you realize what you are saying is that when you are sick (network issues), go the doctor (network professionals), but when you need a specialist (audio applications), go to your plumber (anonymous people on a random Internet forum).

 

commercial audio applications never use these products, simply because they don’t make a difference.
