"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation

[Snoopy8]

Last week I connected the ER like you snoopy8

So router > A side ER > B side ER > devialet Dialog and the phantoms gold via PLC.

It sounded very good with the ER in between as you described.

I now went back to my first setup.

So: Router > B side ER > A Side ER > Devialet Dialog and my phantoms gold via supra cat8 ethernetcables.

This sounds even better to me overhere.

I dare not yet to upgrade from DOS1 to DOS 2, but expect an improvement without the Dialog, the A side of ER only with the supra cat8 ethernet cables to the phantoms golds.

Thank you.  I am enjoying the ER so much that I have yet to try your set up.  I will do it soon. Never tried it, but in DOS1, can the setup be forced to use the Ethernet instead of PLC ?

p/s Like you, I have not upgraded from DOS1 to DOS2.
