In preparation, I exchange the Goebel LAN cable between the router in the listening room and the Melco Switch for a very long standard cable and listen to some of my test tunes. Then I connect the cable to the Fritzbox, which is responsible for connecting to the internet. Already after a few tones it’s very clear: Even the S100 cannot do miracles. Thus avoiding the connection to the internet and using a rather old Belkin router for control via the iPad, the spatial imaging becomes even more intriguing and the performance turns out to be a little more dynamic. In an audio network without internet access and many other connected devices, the switch from Melco can show off its enormous potential even more impressively.
