Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
I run an Ethernet cable between my router (standard issue from Verizon) and my streaming transport. I note that some use an ethernet switch between between the router and streamer. Assuming I got that right, what is the point- what does a good switch do? I've been into audio since the 70's but when its comes to streaming, I'm definitely a newbie-
Thanks all!
If you have a decent system, try the audiophile switch and hear what it does. In my system both the LHY Sw 10 and the Sotm incl oxco and Keces, with audiophile fuse and powercord, works wonder. The Lan cable just before the streaming device is also very importaint. My next move will be to try the kaskade fiber trick between the switches. Melco advokates to use the 100 Mb so that must be expiriensed as well.

"@yoyoyaya and we are back to bias. the facts of how a switch works doesn’t change. It is not an intelligent device that can make decisions based on what is transported via the switch." @fredrik222 That is amusing. Where was it suggested that a switch is an intelligent device? Though to be fair, my switch doesn't post on this forum so, possibly, that does suggest it's an intelligent device. |

Now that is rich. He's kept nothing at bay by being haughty, condescending and insulting, twisting the results of past conversations (at least with me), displaying his usual arrogance. He may be your cup of tea but not others. All the best, |
