No, the best way to test this is as follows: connect everything with the switch in between and start playing a track where you could hear the difference before. When the track is halfway, power-off the switch by pulling the power-plug/adapter from AC outlet. Do -not- pull anything else like ethernet-cables etc. The SB will continue playing because there's still data in the buffer, but the switch is killed and not radiating anything. If you hear a difference, you need a better switch, or plug it in further away or using a different outlet. If you do not hear a difference, you could pull the ethernet-plug from the switch and listen for difference. You would need really big EMI if you hear a difference at this stage and it would not be the switch but something else, outside your audio/network-system. I would try different ethernet cables at that point, unshielded, because you use an extra one with the switch which may be bad (or both bad with just one connected better than both connected; unshielded to prevent ground-loops that shouldn't be there but who knows.
good luck, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
