To Switch or Not to Switch?

[RepublicOfTexas69]

Also interesting. May I inquire as to the reason for the two switches? There’s got to be a reason…

First off I have my system isolated from all other network devices that are either hardwired or on the dreaded wifi. I have 3 networks in the our home two wifi networks for printers, laptops, phones, handhelds. Also run my pool/patio entertainment system on a seperate wifi network. My listening space is hardwired and isolated through a series of switches (Ediscreation) https://ediscreation.com/product/silent-switch-ocxo/ that is fed D-Link DGS 1016D in my network closet off the master bedroom. The Edisocreation S-S OCXO II feeds a Sonore Optical Module Deluxe that coverts to optical and feeds my Uptone EtherREGEN 1. The chain feeds my modified Innous Zenith MKIII that feeds my LessLoss Echo's End Reference DAC. My digital chain sounds wonderful and was built up over a few years of trial and error. There is no WIFI or Cellular in my listening space in an effort to reduce EMI/RFI and other airborne interference. Maybe overkill and complicated but it works for me.

Maybe overkill and complicated but it works for me.

I have spent years experimenting with no switch, one switch, two switches, three switches and four switches.

I have tried over 30 brands of switches and spent month mixing and matching to find the perfect combo.

I have spent 2 years trying vibration control with every digital device you can imagine and currently have a triple level vibration device under my main switch.

In high end digital there is no such thing as overkill. Every little tweak makes a difference.

Yes I know and I enjoyed following your experiments on WBF and FB. Great stuff and inspired some of my experiments. Thank you Michael.
