sq is just talking about a buffer in the steamer. Simply remove the ethernet cable to the streamer whilst it is playing, and thereby removing any influence the switch might have on the sound....the buffer in the streamer will continue to clock its buffered data through its DAC until the buffer is empty.Link please. Or search criteria which deliver same as top hit. I want to ensure we’re talking about the same vid, and I want to see what they’re measuring.
There are so many ways that “test” could be limited to certain configs that I’d like to see it. Given that a switch makes a clearly audible difference in my system, it would be disingenuous/simplistic/<insert adjective of choice> to extrapolate from one video to “all systems everywhere”.
Do you notice a difference in the sound when the switch is disconnected and playing its buffered data?
All streamers will have a buffer due to the nature of the network's availability.
