I'm running BLGW etc. on my home system and have an opportunity to set up a new dedicated switch and V/Lan subnet for the B&O gear through a Maraki being set up by my work's IT team.

They have no experience with B&O but given that the Maraki is the recommended B&O hardware I was wondering what type of switch is either the official or optimal choice for a dedicated install.

The main reason for the new additional switch is to free up ports on my old switch running a lot of business equipment/servers as well as logistics to put it closer to the B&O "cabinet".

Also worth mentioning is that I currently have a lot of reliability/behavioral issues with my B&O gear that I suspect is mostly due to network noise.

Thanks.

For noise reduction:-

Flinch, moan, groan or roll eyes.......but there are some that say this is worth the price of admission: link

These worked for me:- one on the router output and one on the Auralic input:- link

and these are also well known:-
