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!
@erik_squires I think you nailed it. Converting to digital and back may add more noise than the fiber prevents. We just had to splice a fiber line accidentally cut at our plant, and what a pain. We had $100k worth of special equipment mounted on it's own truck and 8 technicians. It was important and time sensitive but wow, what a production. Jerry |
Apologies for the bickering. Freddy22, panzerwaggin, cakhole, and others (12 many joins) continually try to ruin open discussions by spouting their 'networking' knowledge. Side with them at your peril. The winners in this? Those who have researched, discussed, and tried network switches; made their mind up from there. I have two. Well worthwhile in my system. |
