Please test before changing, a streamer has a buffer and will play seconds without the cable connected. So when disconnecting the cable one should hear a difference, zero noise…. But you don’t hear it, any idea why?
Alvin, wouldn't you connect the fiber optic cable from the Switch to the server ? Seems like going from Switch to Switch. The 2nd Switch would bring back electric noise back. Right. I have the same set up with 2 different brands of Switch. 1 is a LHY right !!
Hello, I have the Netgear AX2700 Cable Modem Router which the main connection is a RG6 coaxial cable from the wall into the router. Then there are 4 Gigabit ethernet ports that I use for my Streamer, TV's and computer hardwired. Is my only option, to connect for example the one ethernet port from my cable router to the LHY SW-6...then connect the isolater out port to the the streamer? I can't benefit with the the upgrade to the other items I have connected to the cable modem router.
Hallo, wie lange ist der LHY SW-6 SFP schon auf dem Markt? Ich komme aus 🇦🇹 Österreich und wo kann ich das Gerät auf seriöse Art und Weise bestellen? Im Internet gibt es keine richtige Firmenseite,… ich finde nicht viele Informationen darüber. Wie weit kann ich auf die Verarbeitungsqualität vertrauen? Liebe Grüße aus 🇦🇹 Österreich, Hannes
Glad it piques your interest. Please reach out to my colleague at sales@beatechnik.com. We are happy to help you with any questions you may have. Cheers!
I'm oscillating between buying a sw-10 or the sw-6+ock2 combination. I also want to power the Gustard R26 from the external clock. I will use fiber optic SFP port. Please advise, which combination will give me a better sound?
That's an interesting question. I would opt for SW-10, it features MCLK output, that can be synced with the Gustard R26. The OCXO in the SW-10 is of higher quality!
You just need the grade of ethernet cable suited to the network speed. The ethernet cable carries digital data, not audio signal. The data presented to your DAC will be the same, absolutely identical, irrespective of the cable, or network switches and routers ( (or streamer!)). The only justification I've seen for audiophile routers and cables is there might be noise on the cable that seeps through to the analogue side of the DAC. If that is even possible you need to replace your DAC. I suspect the problem is that people are using concepts from the analogue audio field in the digital field. SUch analogue concepts are entirely inappropriate to digital signals.
@@flugzeugbeschwerer I'm not aware of any reason why there should be. The data presented to the DAC will be absolutely identical whatever the transport medium, source, etc. [The only possibility I can think of is noise coming off the cables, infecting the digital circuitry and leaking into the post-DAC analogue area, but that would be bad design.] The problem, I suspect, is that people are using, perhaps subconsciously, analogue audio concepts in the digital area where they do not apply at all.
Hi sir, please reach out to us at sales@beatechnik.com. My colleague at Beatechnik who specialised in the Network Switch products will be able to assist you.
Why do you have just one isolated port on SW-6? Ok, I understood that it is a custom built switch, but even the cheapest D-Link switches have isolation on ALL PORTS, because it's a safety measure against electrical spikes that might appear (including even lighning damage)
