"Significant Improvement From Network Switch"
As soon as I plugged the RJ45 MiniZap into a spare network port in the Cisco network switch which sits between my NAS drive and WiFi router there was a huge improvement in sound quality. Both in the amount of detail previously unheard and the layering of sounds and textures apparent in everything I streamed from the NAS. Imaging was also improved significantly. There's a burning in period where the sound seems to go through bright, dull, boomy and out-of-phase-sounding phases but this seems to happen quicker than it does with cables, for instance. A better power supply and RJ45 grounding cable with plug in RF Router both produced improvements but not as much as the RJ45 MiniZap. With the combination of these changes does my £40 Cisco switch now perform as well as an audiophile grade switch? Possibly not but it's a huge improvement on how it started out and it'll be a long time before I can afford to try an audiophile grade switch to find out. For now, I'm more than happy.
