Here’s another review EtherStream Network Switch published in 6moons website by Srajan Ebaen himself. This is Fidelizer’s first review from Mr. Srajan Ebaen too so it’ll be a good reference for him to see Fidelizer products in action.
He tested EtherStream in a few setups he can utilize with from dedicated server with USB Reclocker to standard iMac setup. It seems USB Reclocker will make changes in network becoming harder to notice so I’ll share his feedback from conventional parts as below.
I of course haven’t the foggiest whether what I now heard mirrored in scale and importance what Michael had heard. It simply seemed to track in kind. Soundstage cues on depth of field for more specific layer assignation refined. Leading edges had slightly better definition. As always, those aspects caused gains in perceived focus and articulation. With them, separation bettered. Things remained more discrete and individuated rather than blended or blurred into each other when mixes grew thick with interlocking lines. None of it related to frequency response, tonal balance or any expansion/shrinkage of the virtual stage. Rather, it revolved on timing. Tunes felt just a tad snappier to be rhythmically more assured. One might say that in the domain of beats and grooves, the contrast ratio improved. Put casually, think of various time keepers more fully awake. Musicians call it playing in the pocket. Here the Fidelizer worked like a pocket protector.
There’s time I was into USB Reclocker which can be effective anti-jitter solution for some cases so it’s good to have diversity cases like this one. It’d be nice to see review with masterclock + 10M Rubidium clock some days too. You can read his full review for details.
