Les switchs audiophiles + ponts optiques

[bbill]

vu sur Whats best forum.. une comparaison ER <>SOtM : le SOtM est significativement meilleur
.............................................................................................................................................
We were busy the whole night last night.
Here is the most important summary of the results :

1. ER is an over-achiever for sure. And it is better than all audiophile switches below or at around its price.

2. However there was no miracle. All attendees of the gathering, including me myself thought that the SOtM switch was still significantly better. This was not unexpected, because the SOtM was several times more expensive.

3. Single SOtM was better than a single ER (no matter unclocked or clocked).

4. For dual switch format, the sonic performance was SOtMx2 > SOtM to ER > ERx2 (no matter unclocked or clocked).
Actually we didn't like ERx2.

5. For the "SOtM to ER" config, connecting the two switches by optical fiber gave a mediocre and clinical sound. Using a Supra cat8 ethernet cable was better. Using a Vertere HB ethernet cable was much much better! Using optical fiber to connect two switches could give good sound only for SOtMx2.

6. Although Uptone claims that ER can be used with the included switching psu satisfactorily, we DON'T think so. Please give them a LPS.
