Thank you @audiom3. Very helpful! I was just about to pull the trigger on ER, like I said, but now I'm leaning towards LHY. I read about the 10, but unfortunately it's a bit out of range...Appreciate your time and advance my friend
EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions?
Hi, All,
So just when I was ready to pull the trigger on the EthgerREGEN, at the last minute I came across the LHY SW-6. Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my previous post about adding an Ethernet switch/power supply.
The only 2 pcs that will be connected to the switch is my streamer (Eversolo DMP-A6 Master) and a Brennan B2 CD Ripper. I also just added 2 Ethernet cables from Pine Tree Audio (solid stuff very reasonable prices)
My final decision has come down to these 2. Both are same cost-wise and I have read great things about both. Anyone compare the 2 or have any opinion as to which direction to go? My only concern is that the EtherREGEN runs very hot. I've always felt that something that runs hot may have a shorter shelf life?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and time...

@maxwave Thank you. Yes sometime in June I understand the ER G2 will be out. I think if I go with ER I’ll go with the original.
@12many Thank you very much, also very helpful! Appreciate the honesty. I Speke with Alvin at Vinshine (customer service doesn’t get any better than Alvin and Vinshine) and he said the SW-6 is a great match with the Eversolo. Alvin is nothing if not honest. I too am using Shunyata Delta V2 on my DAC and Processor. I have an excellent DH Labs power cable I’ll be using on the SW-6. Definitely leaning in the direction of the SW-6 and will post once I make the call…
Thanks to All for your time and advice! |
@maxwave I also spoke with Alex from UpTone and the Gen2 will be in very high demand and hard to get. It’ll sell out quick. The heat generated by the ER is what concerns me. Plus I don’t want to wait that long. Right now the Gen 1 is in stock and ready to ship. |
@teknorob23 thank you! Very helpful! I am definitely leaning heavily towards the LHY. Still have not pulled the trigger but I've pretty much decided on the LHY. Yes there is a lot of love for the ER but you're analysis seems spot on, thank you very much for sharing. |
@fthompson251 I was originally looking at SW-8 and came across the SW-6. Alvin from Vinshine said the SW-6 was a much better unit. AND it has the isolated port similar to the ER. SW-6 all the way man! |
@wlutke Thats interesting. So it helped the video but not the audio? I don’t stream any video. @oddiofyl Thank you, most everyone speaks to the build quality of the SW-6. In the grand scheme of things I feel like the possible benefits vs cost of this unit (especially with so many referencing build quality) is not really a big risk. I’ve certainly spent MUCH more on components/tweaks without auditioning… |
Thanks for sharing @agisthos. Appreciate the tip on the isolated port. Fortunately where I plan on placing the SW-6 will be easy access (the rest of my components require me to transform into a contortionist to get near them🤦🏼♂️) so I’ll be able to play around with this. Unfortunately even the SW-6 is stretching my budget a bit so I’ll have to be satisfied with this unit-which I’m sure I will be.
@tksteingraber thanks for taking the time to reply. I have not come across any negative reviews of the ER, I’ve just come across many more that rave about the SW-6. I was literally just about to pull the trigger on the ER when I saw the SW-6. Now I’m heavily leaning in that direction. Plus with the Gen 2 in the works, knowing myself if I buy the G1, I’ll end up wanting the G2 when it finally hits the market🤦🏼♂️🔫😂. So if I go with the SW-6 I can pull the trigger and never look back (or forward)…
Thanks to All, love reading the replies and appreciate your time/advice! |
