I found that an Sbooster BOTW 12V power supply gave me a nice improvement with my Melco S100 switch.
Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hi, All,
LOVING my DENAFRIPS Hermes/Pontus combo! WOW what a difference adding the Hermes made. I could not have been even hopeful for the improvement this made!
I just bought the TP Link TL-SG105 Ethernet Switch. I have been contemplating so many different paths here, including the setup from Small Green Computer with the Optical Module, power supply, etc. Very intriguing. But that's a little expensive and a lot of added wires,components, etc. I was also looking at the Silent Angel Bonn N8 switch...Would love to get some opinions on just adding a power supply to my new TP Link switch or would one of the other paths mentioned above be better?
If adding a power supply to the TP Link would be a worthwhile improvement, any recommendations, maybe even the 5V power supply from Small Green Computer?
Thanks in advance for your time and advice😊

Think everyone needs to read this, to get a fundamental understanding of how ethernet works. https://www.techtarget.com/searchnetworking/definition/packet It's so different from an audio signal, noise can not piggyback on a packet. Ethernet jitter will not affect sound like audio jitter. It's completely different. Jitter in e-net can just slow down transfer, in worst case just have the packets be retransferred, greatly slowing down transfer. IMHO, when someone gets a better PS for a switch, the increased in sound quality, might just be from removing the noise from the home power. I can see where if you have a crap PS, and get a clean PS that maybe the router might be able to process things better, or just work a bit better in general. Money is much better spent in just getting certified CatX cables instead. |
Hi, All! So after digging, reading, searching, comparing, and just as I was about ready to pull the trigger on the Silent Angel, while watching Hans' review I came across his review of the EtherREGEN. Decision made, I'm going with the EtherREGEN!
Maybe I'll add a power supply down the line as well...
Just want to thank all who took the time to respond and offer advice! |
30 day money back guarantee, nothing to loose to try it. https://uptoneaudio.com/products/etherregen In the first 3000 Alex has sold I believe he has had 4 returns (going off of memory) I am one of ones who didn't return it. There may quite a few used ones coming up for sale when the Gen 2 etherregen is released, estimated to be this June, just to let you know.
