I just got the iFi 5v power supply for my D-Link 105 and will be testing it vs the supplied smps this weekend. The switch by itself with the included smps made a positive difference though. @wsrrsw have you tried without switch direct into EtherREGEN? Does the switch before the ER improves things?
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
I'm using a D-Link switch into a EtherRegen (with an AfterDark PSU & Clock) via a Signature Ethernet Cable. Coming out of the EtherRegen I use a basic fiber optic cable into my streamer. (All connects/cables not mentioned are upgraded.)
Simply put, should I upgrade the switch or does the fantastic EtherRegen clean up the switch's audio shortcomings?
Please don't tell me to get a TT!

@audphile1 I have tired direct into EtherREGEN (can’t tell much of a difference, hymn) but need a switch in my set up for a roon nucleus, ect. Thx Yes D Link switch.

iFi 5v power supply for the D-Link is inexpensive for a PSU...Will check out @audphile1 9V for the D-Link 105? |
I also need a switch going into my nucleus. I bought the Silent Angel Bonn 8 and I think it helped vs the old netgear. I power my Nucleus with an HD Plex and there is an extra output so I power my switch this way also. I use an Ifi power station to plug in all my computer stuff. My ether regen is downstairs with the audio stuff, feeding directly into my streamer Auralic G2.1 with Supra cat 8 on both sides. Then USB into my Tambaqui. Everything matters. |
