Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Simplify and do a DAS box instead if only one comouter accessing? Just a thought. Otherwise just 10gb with cheapest DACs. That way could expand later with a switch to other computers.
Thats what i meant with gimping. Or more correctly this exactly
360hz that can never be realized because its gimped.

Such BS
Probably still get paired with DP 1.4 somehow, or DP2.1 UBR 20, sigh.
Been shopping and so tired of panel specs leading marketing only to find gimping in the high end space.
Easier to get a used 10g switch for that many ports if you dont mind some fan noise.
Not crazy expensive, relatively, is also difficult with that speed and port count. If new id say two 8 port trendnet or tplinks. That should be around $200-$250 for both.
Fought my first boss, the driller guy. OMG I haven't had a boss fight that hard, that relied on such specific mechanics in forever. Took me a solid hour and half last night to figure it out and beat him. I was so damn frustrated. It was like 90s gaming all over again, awesome! 😀
OK, now that you got that out of your system offer some alternatives. Because no one is advocating for vaporware or sky falling cost benefits like $12k amps. We are talking about entry to low-mid level speakers in the $2k msrp area. This is not high end as in actually high end. This is high end...
Here's the thing though. When you are in the multiple thousands for a full stack, I dont care, neither should anyone, what the measurements are, etc. Amp neutral, warm, forward, or bad, whatever.
It matters what it sounds like. And all of the high end gear can be auditioned. So do that because...
In your opinion. There are many good reasons why an amp may not be neutral. You need to hear them. Perhaps you havent. Id recommend a foray into the "British" sound as a classical example.
IMHO its because you've crossed a price threshold from near field computer, general use speakers to audiophile/statement speakers. There isn't overlap here that I know of. If you want near field its back down in price.
You are at the start of positioning matters, source matters etc when at...
I like absolute quiet so when I put network gear near my main computer I put it in a cabinet that I lined with dynamat. Go-ahead little old switch do your thing.
