It does not get that warm ,the case being all aluminum acts in part like a heat sink.
Update on good Ethernet switch
ASI mentioned before I didnot want to say the brand until I heard the Ethernet switch not only after 300 hours which was recommended having a OX over controlled clock ,
and with what myself always do the weak link on any audio component starts with the stock power cord , for minimal monies the Pangea using Cardas grade 1 copper 6-9s. Awg14 sig,Mk2 , and getting rid of the 50 cent bottle neck fuse I put in a 1.25amp 20mm L ,slow blow synergistic purple fuse these increase fidelity at least 5-7% the switch itself At least 5% if you know the name Jays audio for transports ,his other company LHY Audio the SW8 Ethernet switch for $595 nothing has all this in a nice machined aluminum case , even the uptone ether regen or Sonore deluxe using a with fiber optic which btw lessens the realism imo both were used witha Sbooster2 LPS , ,theSW8 Ethernet switch is a great buy ,and if you add a decent power cord and upgrade the fuse you will be rewarded further , 7 of us reviewed this and 6 out of 7 thought it was a noticeable improvement vs the others there were2 other brands which were more ,that were not even that good and had switch mode pS

@audioman58 thanks. Not warm means it isn’t generating much heat, which is a good thing. |
I run LHY-SW10 because it has optical connections and connects directly to My Green Computer optical bundle. Not to mention the external clock connection of the SW10 which connects to the Gustard c18 which takes over the Gustard X26 PRO clock. So my newly acquired Innuos ZENith mk3, which has no clock of its own, is clocked both with the SW-10 and Gustard x26 pro through the gustard c18. The result is top notch. Not a lot superior sound wise to what I achieved with my excellent Node/Pardo combo, but even a more reliable OS. Kudos to Innuos sense. Now using the Node combo in my living room with my headphones system. |
