Thank you for all of the suggestions.
I’m very familiar with the sound when connected directly from router to streamer via ethernet. I’ve had it that way for a while. I bought the switch a couple of weeks ago. So far, I like the sound with it. I’ve only spent a few hours with the ethernet to fiber converter. Jury is still out on that. The little wall wart is plugged into the same power conditioner as my other gear, so that might be a problem. I’ll look into that.
@boulder_bob Yes, the LHY ock-2 clock has three outputs for square wave and three for sine wave (I’m using square wave). "more relaxed" is kinda what I’m hearing with the converter, but I’m not sure if I prefer that. I need to do more listening.
