In Reply to: RE: Network Switch. This can't work. But it does???? posted by creativepart on November 15, 2023 at 14:29:26
This is the advice received from a network engineer who knows his stuff:
Running a switch between the router and your streamer should give you an improvement. The D-Link DGS105 with an ifi 5v PS is a really good solution. You can get both from Amazon. This $92 combo may be as good if not better than the likes of a number of very expensive switches. The D-link has a very well engineered board, which is why you'll find it inside some "audiophile" switches. You should ground the switch. Just attach a wire to its grounding post and attach to the ground of a phono plug and plug into an empty socket on your preamp or amp.
I then run a very short ethernet cable from the switch to a streamer. It works for me.
Follow Ups:
I'm using TP Link gigabit switches in my system, with JamesCo transformer/regulated wall warts (9V as required by the TP Link switches).
Now I gotta go out and buy two D-Link DGS-105 switches and new Transformer/regulated supplies (5V) just to be sure I'm doing it right. :-(
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
