I think you can sometimes learn more about a company when things are not going so well, rather than when they are going fully to plan.

Anyway, I sent the Aqvox switch back last week and yesterday I received a full refund, which included the original cost of postage from Germany to the UK. OK, I had to pay the postage for return, but all things considered I think this is excellent service.

So if anyone else is considering the Aqvox switch and is not sure due to my rather negative posts versus some other very positive posts, I can at least confirm that the refund policy is fair, so nothing to worry about in that regard.

So I am now wondering about the JCat alternaive, which at Euro 195 is a lot cheaper than the Aqvox, until you consider that they advise that you use it with a high quality LPSU, which makes it much more expensive that the Aqvox. The trouble is, I can find very little information on the JCat at the moment, so I think I'll sit back and wait for a while.

That's good to hear.

Hello, have some time ago a page in the net with the comprehensive information around computer audio, software, hardware etc. found. Maybe someone already knows the site, for those who do not know.

I am currently testing power supplies for the AQVOX and getting some big improvements. I will post up the results.

Very interested in this.

Hi, in the near future there is a new version of the Aqvox LAN Switch. An "SE" version
https://www.hifistatement.net/tests/item...j45-kappen

So the link relates to AQVOX's new detoxer. I understand the better version of the switch will retail for between 600/800 €. It will sell in parallel to the existing switch.

I should add that I also find that in on port one and out on port eight sounds best. Also my suggestion is to take a grounding wire from the back of the AQVOX switch and attach it a suitable earthing point. Experiment with different grounding points or attach to a grounding box if you have one.

Hi, the reference to a new AQ switch 8 "SE" !!
Excerpt from the report: "Actually, I wanted to introduce you to the SE version of the AQ-Switch-8, but had to refrain from it because Susanne Candeias and Norman Lübke had created an even better variant, which is now on the way to Gröbenzell......"

Thank you K4680

Hi all, the new improved AQVox Switch-SE is available! Price 798 €
