However, once you get better switches down the road, there'll be a flip - this bridge is potentially going to be a bottle neck.
Almost worth writing a blog article on this. Just not too sure where/how to begin as there're so many topics to cover.
Thanks a lot, I will wait maybe 1 or 2 weeks before testing this solution, because I am not used to the sound right now. It sound really really good with this configuration, so just to be sure to not dowgrade my situation.
For the switch, I use a netgear GS108 with ifi ipower 12v PSU (with Active Noise Cancellation).
So, in your opinion, when Innuos (the Zenith mkII music server use the same motherboard) say :«Ultra-low Noise Streamer Output
Dual-ethernet ports with isolation transformers on Ethernet ports significantly improve sound quality on streamers when compared to a direct router connection.»It because they test on a switch or a rooter with a noisy SMPS? Or they have tweak the thing with an another solution...
So, I'll get back to you with my impressions of the bridge !
Thank again and good morning
