So, let us open the metal box and have a look. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-fileext=\"jpg\" data-fileid=\"91115\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/thumbnail_image3.jpg.d597a7f3798f7ca9df3386e0539f3a4b.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"thumbnail_image3.thumb.jpg.c72a2a1e75bdeeb328dae8f9ed1af1ab.jpg\" data-fileid=\"91115\" data-ratio=\"75.00\" width=\"900\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/thumbnail_image3.thumb.jpg.c72a2a1e75bdeeb328dae8f9ed1af1ab.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/thumbnail_image3.thumb.jpg.c72a2a1e75bdeeb328dae8f9ed1af1ab.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe clock is placed near the Broadcom CPU.

On the other hands, Buffalo is on the real performer, the music is real and right at the right places. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Giesemann OCXO start to open up and perform after 3 hours and soundstage is much wider and mid range is so sweet, this may happened because the capacitor inside started to burn in. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 24 hours powers on, playing music via ROON, my first impression is sounding become so fluid and transparent, the characteristics which other switch do not have. The noise floor is so low, so the micro details can fill the listening areas easily. In addition, we found  the bass is more authority, punchy and control. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cascade of Buffalo GS-BS2016 can amplify the improvement with wider soundstage, this may due to re-clocking of the switches, which makes it happened. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome reviews from audiophile: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/forums\/topic\/58164-building-a-diy-music-server\/?do=findComment\u0026amp;comment=1073080\"\u003e\"The SR7 and Buffalo are still running in - however there is an obvious improvement in the quality of the sound produced already.

Nenon was the first to try to use this clock in Buffalo 2016 switch and he really likes it.He was stacking them for better results upto 6 of them. Austinpop (Rajiv) was tesing this switch (PFU Buffalo borrowed fron Nenon) extensively and it was a clear winner in his precise testing Against the other switches he had including Sotm . Additionally Nenon retested PFU Buffalo against the Telegartner M12 and he would still prefer the PFU Buffalo (60%) than Telegartner M12(40%).That is a very good news .\" by KRIS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/1675766353_AfterDark.LEGOFB.JPG.664c65164fe1517d5350788685dc1ff3.JPG\" title=\"Enlarge image\" data-wrappedlink=\"\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-ipslightbox-group=\"undefined\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"1675766353_AfterDark.LEGOFB.JPG.664c65164fe1517d5350788685dc1ff3.JPG\" data-fileid=\"91133\" data-ratio=\"87.48\" width=\"519\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/1675766353_AfterDark.LEGOFB.JPG.664c65164fe1517d5350788685dc1ff3.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_10\/1675766353_AfterDark.LEGOFB.JPG.664c65164fe1517d5350788685dc1ff3.JPG\" class=\"ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AfterDark.","offers":[{"title":"Single \/ Yes","offer_id":39506969854070,"sku":null,"price":2952000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true},{"title":"Double \/ Yes","offer_id":39506970574966,"sku":"","price":4006000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/3117\/6822\/products\/image7_2.jpg?v=1637733937","url":"https:\/\/www.adark.co\/en-kr\/products\/afterdark-project-clayx-buffalo-bs-gs2016-10g-sfp-cascade-trifecta-extreme-edition","provider":"AfterDark","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
