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😊

I have the SILENT ANGEL Ethernet switch powered by the SMALL GREEN COMPUTER external linear power supply, for it.

I was a card carrying agnostic and high skeptic that upgraded audiophile ethernet cables , switches, and external linear power supplies for them were rubbish …., until I watched the Hans Beekhuyzen Channel videos on YouTubr.. These are even handed learning tools without any of the usual shilling or BS hyperbole or pushing paid-for video promotions.

I took the leap of faith and upgraded finally …..

my take:

yep….they all matter individual and collectively in digital audio performance. And they are worthy upgrades staying in my system.

Fwiw ., ignoring the positive improvements of the Ethernet audiophile grade switch upgrade and Ethernet cables upgrade themselves, the SGC linear power supply was a great  upgrade to the “better-then-most OEM” switch mode wall wart supplied  with the new unit.
