I hope you mean switches and not routers. Typically you only have one router in a home network. Multiple routers would probably cause issues. 
 

In my system, I have a switch which connects my music server (HQP Desktop & Roon Server), NAS and HQP NAA (opticalRendu). The switch is also connected to a wireless endpoint which in turn provides WiFi connection to the rest of my network and Internet.

No i mean two routers.Main router would be wired then second router hooked to wired router as a access point only for wi-fi

Miska  looking for your opinion .I was thinking of using a wired router from my modem and connect my HQPlayer PC, My Roon Rock PC,and and my naa nuc to it .Then run cable to my wireless router for wifi and remaining connections.Thanks

Best is to have a good switch, and connect your modem and everything else to it. And get a plain wifi access point for wireless. For example HPE and Cisco make good switches and wifi access points.

 

Okay didn't know you could hook a switch to modem before router or wifi access point.

Usually modem + router is combined. If you have a separate, then switch and all the rest is after the router.

 

I  get it now.My modem was set to bridge mode so just using as modem.I could change back to default and do what you recommend.Thanks

IS IT BETTER TO ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADDRESS FOR NAA DEVICE AND HQPLAYER PC ?

[Outlaw]

I Miska.Get these unknown selector in NAA screen.Any idea what this is.Also does naa have to be on a ssd or spinning harddrive good enough on windows 10 ?

[Outlaw]

Trying NAA on a Rasberry PI3.All I can get is PCM which plays slow and crackling.No DSD at all ? Any ideas

Forget using USB on RPi3. They cut a bit too many corners on the hardware design and USB is losing packets because ethernet shares the same USB bus as the Type-A connectors and the CPU doesn't manage.

 

RPi4 is first RasPi with usable USB when Ethernet is in use.

 

okay thanks

@Outlaw … check the Windows network type, sometimes it happens Windows reverts it to Public , it should be Private

On Private

[Outlaw]

Also when I open up device it shows analog and digitalalc1220.Never seen this before.Also why when I have set to network audio  it is showing ALSA backend setting ??
