@baconbrain and @K4680 ,
Yes, this is a Devialet forum but every one of us uses components from other manufacturers as well and we mention those products. This is a thread about ethernet switches and saying that manufacturer responses in this thread should be limited to responses from Devialet is a little too restrictive in my view since the last time I checked Devialet wasn't making an ethernet switch.
I think it's quite appropriate for manufacturers of products discussed in this thread to respond to comments on their product, just as I would think it appropriate for Devialet to respond to comments about their products in forums related to products from other manufacturers. I don't think it's appropriate for one manufacturer to criticise another manufacturer's products, there could be more than a bit of bias and prejudice in that, but that didn't happen here and I think Alex's post was more than acceptable given the large number of comments, both for and against, made about his product in this thread.
Frankly, given the topic under discussion in this thread, I'd rather see comments from manufacturers of ethernet switches discussed in this thread than comments from Devialet who haven't bothered to fix a bug that's been affecting their ethernet input for almost a year. The only comment I would like to see from Devialet about an ethernet related topic at the moment is "We've fixed it!" and they seem unwilling to do that.
