Buffalo Audio Switch - What do you guys think about this product?

From a business point of view, I guess they're thinking why leave money on the table by not having a (technically pointless) "audiophile" switch. It's just satisfying a market demand, however misguided that demand is.

I absolutely hate it from an engineering perspective, but then I'm an engineer rather than a product manager :)

It’s funny that most engineers are hardly making any money! Honesty makes us poor! Ironic!

Recently I saw Buffalo Audio Switch BS-GS2016/A.

This switch is supposedly solely for audiophiles! What do you guys think about this switch? Is Buffalo, one of largest firm providing network solution in Japan, also believe in this such of “audio switch”?

I have 4 Buffalo Ethernet switches each one better than the other. And I finally got the One for audio which was slightly better than the model without audio the BS GS 2016A for network audio.
Each time more is revealed in the music
This is a big company who also make a more expensive switch at $3,000 which some people say is only slightly better than the buffalo. I forgot the name it will come to me.
I tried the chord Ethernet switch by English electric for $800 but found the Buffalo way better at $300 approximately. You don’t always get what you pay for
I hope that helps

A switch does not improve the sound quality of music. You've been duped. :D

I think we can all agree on that, in any event.

If she's the manufacturer's rep, the biases are all too conscious. ;)
