n case you wonder if an audiograde network switch is important and what kind of performance does the M12 SWITCH GOLD deliver? 

You will find the answer in the A/B demo video. 

 

and without the m12 switch installed

 

 

Let me know what you think

Why the A/B video using different speakers?

[RickyV]

The first one sounds better but is the m12 the only thing that has changed?

The second one sounds like something in the room acoustics has changed.

The video was removed. Here is a message from Bob, the owner of Rhapsody Audio:

Quote

I apologize to readers here. I had posted a few videos but I used a cell for one and a Nikon for the other.  They were also two different speakers that were in the two videos.  It was my error and didn't realize that I had actually posted the cell video with the other speakers.

 

I will be doing comparison videos with the M12Gold Switch and without, but with the same recording devices and the same speakers.

 

Again, sorry

M12 SWITCH GOLD  /w OPTIMO 3 DUO power supply review on 6moons:

'JCAT significantly boosted my not exactly affordable rig’s performance and didn’t alter its natural flavour. But this set’s potency way up there with a major component upgrade, would leave many seasoned ears rather surprised. Most of us simply don’t expect supportive boxes to do this type of wicked work, but some do. I have no idea how much would I have to spend on speakers, DAC or amp clearly above those I already own, but most likely nowhere near today’s sum total.'

M12 SWITCH GOLD main unit can now be purchased without accessories at a significantly lower price. 

This is great news for all customers who wish to upgrade power supply to our INITIO 3 or OPTIMO 3 DUO or use different M12 LAN cables.
