"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation
Alpha-Audio did a remarkable blind-test, camparing seven audiophile switches. They invited some readers to participate, and published their findings (in Dutch) today.

Switches tested:

- Standaard Netgear (To get used to sound / baseline) (149 euro, 24 poorten)
- Fidelizer EtherStream (399 euro)
- Ansuz switch (1999 euro)
- Fiber (250 euro compleet)
- Silent Angel Bonn N8 (395 euro)
- SoTM – basismodel (999 euro)
- Meraki enterprise 8-poort met fiber en PoE (799 euro)

Aim was to determine wheather differences could be heard and, if so, which switch would score best in a blind-test.

For those interested (they also included some diagrams with scores per switch):
