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...

I’m just gonna guess that you’re gonna need a higher quality streamer to get the benefits you are desiring out of an ethernet switch. 

I preferred the LHY over the ER. If you can swing the LHY-10, it's even better. By quite a bit, actually.

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 friendyes
