I wonder if it crossed any of these reviewers minds that the audio they listened to traversed countless switches, network routers, fiber amplifiers and who knows what else before it ever hit that switch.
I have zero clue who buys this stuff. Perhaps I'm in the wrong business!
- pipodeclown 5y agoYou mean you would stream your music instead of having local flac files?! You audio peasent!
- crtasm 5y agoHow did you obtain your 24bit 96kHz flac files without them passing through non-audiophile networking kit?
- sparky_ 5y agoIn some sense, it doesn't surprise me that there's some market for this. For the older audiophile who doesn't understand digital music or networking, their only analog is.. analog. :-) So if you look at the setup with "vinyl goggles", where upgrading your stylus or pre-amp or cartridge _does_ have some impact to audio quality - since the physical diamond or sound chambre can vary - you can see how someone without any IT knowledge could conclude that, likewise, upgrading the devices in the "signal path" (network) for digital music would make an impact. Now like, obviously that's wrong, but if someone is willing to pay you $2000 for a Realtek switch in a fancy case.. Clearly the market will oblige!
