I regret that my question degenerate in something that absolutely wasn’t my goal, polarization apparently lurks. Sorry for that. Please respect each other’s opinion and let our ears (hopefullly) make the right decisions. Enjoy the music, with or without switch! Thank you.
I understand that MSB’s mainly interest is making digital conversion products that performe at an outstanding level. Despite that main goal it would be nice if experts like the MSB guys could say something clever about switches in general. Again, I understand if that’s not the case.
Don’t worry about it, this is grammar school level disagreement. Spend some time in the wine collecting community and tell them you don’t think Riesling is good wine.
@matthewk knowing I enjoy wine, I have to agree with you it’s a terrible choice with my … (choose the dish), music is the same as is most art I would say there is a science, but it’s irrelevant if you dont enjoy something then it’s not right for you!
And I have run my system with a bunch of networking options (since I have them handy) I can’t say anything negative about music grade switches but I found no audible difference compared to my 10G fiber system, I convert 30cm away from the Cascade and feed it to a filter
@Gerard but opinions differ some people feel the Innuos PhoenixNET Audiophile-grade Network Switch or equivalent make a difference I compared several options and felt my Activ Audio EMI filter was just as good to my ears
