I currently connect everything directly to my asus rtn66u router, with Sbooster power supply. My dealer advises switches Silent angel Bonn n8 with Forrester power supply OR Sotm What do you guys think? System is the one I just posted in the systems thread. Thank you in advance for your input …

Hi @Serhan , which power supply are you using for your Melco ? Have you tried the competing switches from Innuos (Phoenix) or Synergistic Research ? Hopefully my dealer will have one or both to try, wait and see. I am still on the fence because the improvement with the Melco is real but not huge in…

Hi @Phil I use HDPlex 300W that feeds my router, Nucleus+, Matrix X-SPDIF2, and Melco S100. DC cables are Canare with Neutrik XLR (LPS end) the other end is Oyaide. I have not compared Melco to Innuos or SR, however, Anzus A2 tried to dethrone Melco. For more $$ it gives a built in power supply! h…

I checked, and thank God, my dealer doesn’t carry Ansuz, so no risk of expensive temptation for me. Phew :sweat_smile:. Talking about expensive, the Grim and Melco servers you mentioned are slightly more expensive than the Nucleus :wink: We are talking Pink Faun level prices, right ?

Nordost QNet Ethernet Switch (thecableco.com) Just showed up in my inbox, of course they recommend the power supply and cable for best sound! I guess analog is not the only rabbit hole available to dive down… Best, -JP

You must be stuck very deep in that rabbit hole to spend US$ 3200 on a hockey puck Ethernet switch. Streaming in my systems does indeed not sound as good as CD. In order to reach both of my streamers the signal travels 5 switches. Even if I replaced them all by such audiophile switches there would …

[image] Rudolf_Appel: You must be stuck very deep in that rabbit hole to spend US$ 3200 on a hockey puck Ethernet switch. It all boils down to one’s preference, identifying their system’s weaknesses and dealing with those weaknesses the way they see appropriate. A Melco S-100 was the cure to …
