Get a switch that doesn’t use a walwart. I go from the router to a more enterprise switch that doesn’t use a walwart to clean up the sound before the streamer, then use the best Ethernet cable you can afford between these 2 devices.
Where to Place Network Switch
Good Day Audio Fans,
I will soon receive a network switch. I am getting an Ansuz Power Switch for ethernet distribution and noise reduction. I currently mainline my ethernet from the router to my dCS Lina DAC & Master Clock. Do you think it will make a difference if I put the Ansuz on the Router side of the ethernet cable versus the DAC side of the ethernet cable? I’m thinking if there is no difference, then I could put the switch by the router, and plug in my home theater equipment (TV, AV Receiver & Blu-Ray player) as well. The home theater room is just a wall away from the router but the main audio system is another floor away with a 50ft ethernet cable.

According to the Audio Group Denmark page, Clean streaming signal. I believe I am on the right track here. |
@pgaulke60 the way I read it is do no harm was their goal. Hopefully they accomplished it. But once again if you think a switch will function as a filter and clean up your signal, it won’t. Cleanest way to implement the switch would be to have it plugged into another circuit and out of your system. As I mentioned earlier. |
