Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

Actually the more affordable options to the MELCO were around first.
I recall that chatter about similar but considerably less expensive alternatives. Couldn't remember which came first. My guess is Melco out muscled the others with their marketing, making it appear like they were 1st to the party. A/B comparisons were easy to perform with the Optical Modules. To my ears there was a touch more believability using the Melco C1 vs fiber.

Honestly I could not tell the difference in my systems, from the Melco to the Amphenol . Now I have completely moved to the Edison FiberBox II. Huge improvements.
 
I have the Amphenol and have been very impressed.

Is it placed just after the router?
 
If anybody had hesitations upgrading to mk2 power supply, I would strongly suggest getting it. In my system, this is almost as much an upgrade as getting the tempus mk1 itself...
