supposedly uses very clean power filters for the best audio. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ethernet-switch-for-audiophiles |

Disappointing. I would add a built in compass and clinometer in order to align it properly to the Earth magnetic field and I would charge $5000 instead. |

--- Quote ---According to a review by Robert Youman from Positive Feedback, the ethernet switch does make an impact on audio streaming quality. He notes that when using the switch to stream audio online, the detail of the music is equal to the best files stored locally on his hard drive. He says he even prefers it to vinyl recordings in some cases. --- End quote --- Right. It improves the quality of Spotify... Sure... |

More meaningless dribble from a review - --- Quote ---From the opening seconds, I could feel the atmosphere in the venue. The music had a clarity, presence, and natural feel that, for the first time, made me think there was something worthwhile to streaming music. The sibilance was finally controlled. The soloists were so realistic I could feel something like their personalities in their voices. Musicians were solidly placed in realistic, identifiable positions on the soundstage. Jackson Browne sounded like I had heard him on my reference CD & LP rig. And the applause came from real people in the audience. https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/blog/bob-widlar-life-engineering-legend/ --- End quote --- If this switch is changing the sound from what a simple low priced properly operating switch is doing, then it's changing the original data coming into it! |

At that price, it should at least have SFPs for optical cables. |
