Roon RAAT and "An audio file is loading slowly"

[ogs]

That would be an interesting test! If the problem is gone after the change we can certainly be sure the Gig ethernet was part of the problem....

Uptone will deliver a special "EtherREGEN" with a very clean 10/100BASE-T and a fiber SFP slot (+ several copper Gig ports). There is a thread at audiophilestyle.com about it. Maybe this is the thing to go for provided you can wait... else it should be easy to find cheap unmanaged 100BASE-T switches used.
