No wall warts, get quality LPS.
Install a quality Filter such as the ENO, Aardvark or Smooth Lan from Stack.
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.

I use a UniFi POE switch in HVAC closet, ethernet cable to UniFi In-Wall (https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/u6-iw) by the audio equipment ... the UniFi In-Wall is powered by POE and also has 4 port switch which covers other network connected items in the rack ... Offers WiFi to the general area which is helpful as well. |
Great info at these sites. Lots of great information to plow through. https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/forum/20-networking-networked-audio-and-streaming/ https://www.whatsbestforum.com/forums/computer-based-music-server-forum.23/ https://www.alpha-audio.net/streaming-audio/computer-network/network-switches/ |
I’ve trouble following your set up. Is it possible regardless of how you set it up? Which version of the power switch are you using? I just use modem followed by a router followed by switches. And then the audio file grade switch I use is obviously closest to the streamer. I don't go directly from the router to the streamer don't see the point. I have an electric eight switch which is nice looking and seems well built.
