"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation

[K4680]

Hello guys, on Saturday evening with my dealer (one of my longest and oldest friends) carried out a network switch test in one of his studios!
We have heard of the following network switches:

Linksys LGS 105
Cisco 15 ..
AQVOX SE
Silent Angel Bonn N8
Melco S100, with SBooster power supply

Listening environment:
B&W 800
Devialet 220 Pro
MCIntosh MA9000
Roon Nucleus+ (Tidal, Qobuz HiRes)
AESTHETIX ROMULUS Digital-to-Analog Converter with CD Transportand PANDORA Digital-to-Analog Converter

Wiring, all Transparent Audio, except network cable Audioquest Diamond.

We heard and compared each switch individually.
AQVOX SE and Melco S100 remained until the end.

Melco S100, paid and taken with you !!
Theme network switch is thus done for 2020, and no longer a topic for me (only for me no longer a topic )

Would you be able to elaborate more on what you heard during the test?

Is the Melco S100 much better than the Bonn N8?

Thanks.

Hi, of course everyone records their personal listening impressions! I personally liked the Melco the best. We have not compared the Bonn with the Melco!
