Makes sense re: varying LPS quality. So far I've felt the best about trying a 12v Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII ($400 MSRP) with a Shunyata Venom V14 Digital power cable ($250 MSRP), but it seems silly to spend $650 x 2 to power consumer networking gear that costs $100-150 each.[/QUOTE]
Agree. I have spent way to much on audio. I freak when friends spend $5,000 on a power cord, $2,000 USB and $4,000 interconnect to utilize their $10,000 dac. More in cabling than the equipment.
I have a $5500 DAC with a $700 usb, $1,200 interconnect and $700 power cable. It gets expensive quick.
Digital backbone is odd in that there are not a lot of audiophile pieces. I do have a Linear Solution switch. It was $700 with a power supply. I put HD plex power supplies on my modem and router. $700 or so used. It was a small gain. Noticeable but small. I heard more when I bought the Asus router and let the Surfboard just be a Modem. Have the router assign the IP addresses.
Never tried turning off wifi. I don't think it will do much. My router is quite robust. The Aris Surfboard was way overtaxed trying to be a modem, router and wifi.
