>From what I have read these super switches sit upstream from the source (NAS, Tidal, Spotify etc) and act like a noise condom. From Uptone:
"The heart of what makes our switch so unique is use of ACTIVE, HIGH-SPEED, LOW-JITTER DIFFERENTIAL DIGITAL ISOLATOR chips in conjunction with ULTRA-LOW JITTER DIFFERENTIAL RE-CLOCKING FLIP-FLOPS. No other Ethernet switch on the market does this. Implementing this architecture correctly is difficult and costly! Going from port-to-port on the A side of EtherREGEN is already better than most any other switch, but__crossing_our_*A*ctive_*D*ifferential_*I*solation_*M*oat__(*ADIM*)_to_its_B_sidebrings_an_unmatched_level_of_Ethernet_performance_for_audio._ On the circuit board photos you can see the EtherREGENs moat, across which sit the differential digital isolators. The design methods and innovative ADIM of the EtherREGEN results in dual, isolated clock/data/power domains, blockage of all external leakage currents, a significant reduction in upstream phase-noise fingerprint, and maximal signal integrity." I think they need an font isolator between their keyboard and PC to stop the constant jitter in their typeface/bold/capital choices! I gave up reading their web site as my eyes were polluted. :rolleyes::rolleyes: Lounge: Transporter>Audio Synthesis DAX Decade>Audio Research LS22>Krell FPB300>Wilson Benesch Act 1's + 2 x Velodyne SPL1000 sub's Kitchen: SB3>Topping DAC>Arcam Solo>Anthony Gallo Micro's+Sub, Joggler controller Office: SB3>Acoustic Energy AE1 Active's, Joggler controller Garage: Boom>QAcoustics 7000s subwoofer Bedroom: Radio Shed: Radio Workshop: Boom Garden 1: SB3>JVC amp>Rock outdoor speakers Garden 2: SB3>JVC amp>Rock outdoor speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114088
