davide256 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 On switches I do find that LRC Ethernet cable interaction and power supply noise interactions exist. And there are some older switches (FE only ports) that don't run fast enough for audio. Using fiber optic connection was sufficient, no fancy switch required Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment

This should be doable without any said noise. I've managed this dozens of times. I've had hum from a wallwart powering a switch cause downstream renderer interference in a wired Ethernet solution, very noticeable when playing music... switched to LPS power and the problem went away. Wired Ethernet sounds strained compared to using fiber optics between switch and network streamer, an effect similar to using a marginal power amp with speakers.. 99% of the time its okay but that repeatable 1% makes you want the next step up. And my experience with buffers has always been turn them to lowest setting compatible with your hardware as they degrade the sound. I'll try pulling the Ethernet connection on my microRendu some time, I'm curious how much it buffers. Albrecht and FIndingit 2 Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
