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?

I don’t think 26awg version better but it definitely much more flexible. The 22awg version as you know is bit stiff.

FWIW, I have placed this between my switch and streamer, It did lower the noise floor. I cannot detect any detraction of sound quality, harshness etc. with it installed. Just a lower noise floor IMHO. No SMPS. I use a good power cord on it too. (WW Silver Electra 7)  This replaced an Network Acoustics Eno filter system, which I felt it compressed dynamics a bit.
