    To Switch or Not to Switch?

    To Switch or Not to Switch?

    On the other hand, those high end streamers cost a serious amount of money. If the input is already cleaned from noise and the ones and zero’s are reclocked then the only source that could mess it up again is the final streamer.. Combine a good switch combination together with a much cheaper...

    To Switch or Not to Switch?

    Yes indeed 2 switches. There are people who say that 2 switches in serie may improve SQ, I used to have 2 Silent Angel Bonns in serie sold one because I did not hear a difference. The main reason is that also a tv and other devices must be on the wired internet. I am afraid that hooking these...

    To Switch or Not to Switch?

    My new switch. This is a Cisco Meraki MS220-8P. In a blind test this one is one of the best sounding on the market.

    Start first cheap, then expensive. Nobody does buy a high end setup from the beginning. The audio community will only grow when there is a widespread love in good sound. Sadly the fact is that young people are listening to poor setups. A computer with speakers is fine, a mobile phone with a...

    Is the growth in audio streaming reshaping the world of audio equipment manufacturers?

    For me streaming is not the ultimate way of listening. A bought album is listened over and over. Some where good after the first time listening, but got bored on the long term. Others are like a bottle of wine, the time makes it better. The latter one has a problem with streaming, you want good...

    Lumin Forum?

    Maybe I think like an European, but here it is normal that a shop owner gets a profit margin from a sold item. Big shops have a better negotiation position then small ones, and can buy cheaper. Point is, that if a distributor wants at least a certain margin and a seller negotiates very sharp...
