"Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation

[PeppaPig]

Arguably off topic, but maybe not. If you consider that an 'Audiophile' Ethernet switch has two main jobs, firstly to faithfully transfer the bits, and secondly to eliminate any noise from the nasty computer side of your system so it does not upset the delicate super clean audio side. We could argue about clocking etc., but this is Ethernet packet data.

Anyway, this has come to light this week. It looks rather brutal, but in a foo-free and satisfyingly substantial way, although I am not sure if the welder was completely sober.

The DJM Electronics GigaFOILv4, snappy name eh?

I wonder how it might compare to the Etalon, Pink Faun and other similar items? (although the Pink Faun is a little smaller)

Hi Comfused,

If we worry about the noise from the computer side that might affect the clean dedicated audio device, will WiFi address this issue better? Because it has no physical wiring to the amp and Dac. And data packages stores on the local memory buffer anyway.

What is your opinion?

Thanks.
