While I ponder the many noted options, I do have one other ( and simpler ) question. My home wifi is a mesh network and thus the main pod ( from which my switch/server/ streamer emanate) is wired by an ethernet cable to the cable modem/router. I have upgraded the ethernet cable that feeds the switch etc, but have been using a garden variety cat 6 cable to connect the main pod to the modem router. Would there be any benefit to upgrading the router - pod #1 cable? Perhaps better shielding at that level might clean up the signal? Certainly would be an easy fix.
Network Switches
Another digital question from an analogue guy.
I am currently running an Electrocompanient EDM MKII ( Streamer DAC) and a Small Green Computer Sonic transporter. Both run off of a Trendnet ( unmanaged) basic switch.
Would an upgraded switch have any sonic impact?
If so what switches in the 500 dollar range would be recommended?

Try this cable and see whether it brings any audible improvement over your standard cable. |
@lalitk I have the 22awg Linkup. Is the 26awg better? |
@lalitk cool. Thanks! |
