@gkelly good idea!
are NET Switches worth considering?
I have an Innuos Pulsar Streamer that gives me everything I need - incredible detail, imaging and PRAT. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with NET switches? I'm particularly interested in the Innuos Phoenix NET and I'm wondering if adding this switch is worth the money. So for those of you who have great streamers is a net switch a must?
I should mention that my only source for music is streaming.
My Innuos Pulsar feeds my Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC and my other components include an Accuphase C2300 preamplifier and an Accuphase A-48S Class-A amplifier.
Thanks in advance!

Silent Angel makes nice audiophile switches and linear power supplies to go with them: English Electric (a Chord company) makes well-regarded switches, too: https://englishelectric.uk/8-switch/ I think both would be about $750 USD. I use the Silent Angel Bonn N8 with a Forester F1 linear power supply with my Innuos Zen Mini Mark III and McIntosh DAC2 (in a MA8950), with Shunyata Gamma cables. The Silent Angel switch and LPS made a nice improvement when it was added. |
Only possible reason to do it is if your existing streamer and dac are not filtering out noise coming from your ethernet connection. The current Stereophile (Brilliant Corners column) has a brief mention of an extremely cost effective solution: TP-Link MC220L ethernet to fiber converters, TP-Link TL-FM311 SFP modules, and a short run of fiber optic cable. Another option, a little more expensive, is to just get same basic setup through Small Green Computer: |
