Are you using the stock power supply or an aftermarket linear power supply? When I owned one I ended up using a 7V Farad Super3 power supply, which actually improved the sound at an even greater margin vs the EtherRegen by itself. It also stabilized the heat, I found, though it was still warm to the touch. I sold both for the Synergistic Research UEF Switch which is not hot at all and sounds much more organic, but of course at a much higher price.
Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?
This network device as glorious as it may be gets extremely hot, almost burning to the touch. Something doesn't seem right about that.
Is there a good alternative to using this thing, it was about $600 which isn't cheap. Optical connectivity which I like seems to be a good thing.
Frankly I'm not sure what the value is it with it vs something else that may be operationally more healthy to use. So I disconnected it because the heat level seems kind of dangerous. I have no confidence that it will Control itself and get absolutely and dangerously too hot in the future.
