Update on good Ethernet switch

Good.  You’re finally getting it.  But let me help you understand the meaning of arrogance.  Babe Ruth was a baseball player.  Perhaps you have heard of him.  When he stepped up to the batting plate he would point his bat at the stands indicating where he was going to hit the ball.  More often than not he would put the ball right where he pointed.  That is confidence.  Other ball players would step up to the plate and point their bat at the stands too.  Only they had very little chance of hitting the ball let alone putting it into the stands.  That is arrogance.

From my point of view you are arrogant because you have neither shown us your stereo system or demonstrated any knowledge of audio or acknowledged that someone can hear a difference in streaming audio.

Fred, unless you have built stereo systems for yourself or others or worked in the audio industry your IT related comments are not relevant. 
it is like me asking my plumber which power cord to buy for my amp. 

Unless, of course, my plumber is into audio. I’m sure he can afford it.

it is interesting, when ’one trick pony’ trolls like this come on forums and denounce the value of certain hifi gear based on their 'experience' elsewhere, argue endlessly and defensively, i believe the net result is actually more interest is developed in the thing they are putting down by those whom are evaluating the product...

what happens, as we see here is more actual hifi enthusiasts feel compelled to openly state that they have tried xx and have gained positive value from it

funny how folks don’t think through the consequences of their statements and chosen foodfights... or maybe they live in their own world, only feel the need to spout what they (believe they) know and it is pretty much as myopic as that...

"Network professionals have 0 credibility".

Who, exactly, designs the network interfaces for every music streaming device?
