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

@jerrybj do you know what the clock is used for in a switch? |
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. |
I have to wonder why these “IT Professionals” who obviously are not into audio peruse and troll these pages. I doubt any of them have actually designed and spec’d networking components. More likely they sit in windowless rooms building PCs for employees, push software updates to company PCs, route ethernet cables across the plant and office and install new data servers. The closest they get to an audio application is plugging in new network phones. (Which sound awful). None of them have yet to rationally explain using math or measurement data why digital transmission of music is not affected by the gear or cabling whereas measurement data can show faults in the data stream due to power supply issues, EMI and affects of wire capacitance, etc. (They will deny the facts as quickly as they deny we hear a difference). Instead they always take the agnostic approach claiming we cannot hear what we are hearing and it’s impossible to alter the sound of digital. They can beat that drum all they want but this audio hobby will continue to press forward with new ideas and new discoveries. I’m reminded of the derision people faced for buying “fancy” speaker cables in the 1980s. Maybe we should all pitch in a buy them a window. |
