More than likely its an alibaba $5 generic 100mbps switch. Thats what is inside other audiophile switches. The trick here is that nobody is going to toss $250

The trick here is that nobody is going to toss $2500 at Synergistic just to pull one apart and void the warranty to find out. Quite a clever scam.
- spookthesunset 5y agoI mean you are probably right but I'd love the teardown anyway. Maybe you are wrong? Maybe they have custom silicon or at least "name brand" chips? Or maybe it is a shitshow that features the crappiest power supply and salvaged chips with the markings scraped off tossed onto the worst PCB on earth. Maybe it is a hub and not a switch? Who knows? I'd like to know!
- smackeyacky 5y agoMe too. Perhaps we could quietly crowdfund a purchase and ship the item off to be torn down.
- tdeck 5y agoI was going to say, this thing looks incredibly cheap. Like it's cobbled together from a standard enclosure and parts you can buy on AliExpress.
