Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hi, All,
LOVING my DENAFRIPS Hermes/Pontus combo! WOW what a difference adding the Hermes made. I could not have been even hopeful for the improvement this made!
I just bought the TP Link TL-SG105 Ethernet Switch. I have been contemplating so many different paths here, including the setup from Small Green Computer with the Optical Module, power supply, etc. Very intriguing. But that's a little expensive and a lot of added wires,components, etc. I was also looking at the Silent Angel Bonn N8 switch...Would love to get some opinions on just adding a power supply to my new TP Link switch or would one of the other paths mentioned above be better?
If adding a power supply to the TP Link would be a worthwhile improvement, any recommendations, maybe even the 5V power supply from Small Green Computer?
Thanks in advance for your time and advice😊
Hi @erik_squires ! Thank you!! Appreciate the simple break down!! Furman seems to be very reputable for solid distribution surge protection devices, etc, and not any of the "immense sound stage, spicier peppers, brighter light bulbs, wetter water!". I think the one you mentioned looks like a great choice for the digital devices like routers, modems, switches, small computers, maybe even DAC. $300, a bargain too! Best wishes friend. |
Ethernet jitter has nothing to do with DAC jitter. Or should not. The reason is buffers built into the streamers, which may hold several seconds worth of music. The buffer's output is doled out by the DAC chip itself on demand. Even a loss of network connectivity lasting several seconds should not impact the music, or video for that matter. Certainly network latency of even hundreds of milliseconds and jitter in the same scale should do nothing to the audio jitter except in poorly designed and tested systems. |
@erik_squires Good point on the jitter. Always thought this breakdown from an audio engineer was worth knowing on jitter and audibility. |
