"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation

[K4680]

This is a controversial area I know, but many have reported improvements from using "Audiophile Grade" such as the AQVOX and similar.  I have noticed recently that there are some interesting new products arriving in this category, in particular, new products from UptoneAudio and SOtM.

First the SOtM switch:

The SOtM switch will have 8 LAN ports and 2 SFP ports, the sCLK-EX clock board will be an option.  Due to be released at this years Munich high end show, not many details yet but we do have some pictures.




Next the UptoneAudio switch, still a work in progress with the release planned for this summer:

Last but not least, the JCAT M12 Switch Gold.  Although it may be last and least interesting, or should I say last but most expensive.  $5000 anyone?  (4165 Euros)  As a warning, the link below includes a "Buy Now" button, be careful where you are clicking!

My bet, the Uptone switch is expected to be under $500 and I think it might just prove to be the best of the bunch.  Time will tell.

Hi, Report to m12 switch!
