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😊

@fastfreight Great thanks! Read great things about the Tempus, but never heard of the Dejitterit. 

so this Symphony is a box to improve "signal degradation from such systems of various cable interfaces", but to use it one has to plug in its own "cheap" switch mode power supply into your system? I don't know....

You answer does nothing to clarify this, yet you continue to trot out that something can be measured, so someone can hear the improvement.  You seem to have dropped the con from seconds but not necessarily from your post.

@richardbrand your attack matches the definition of internet troll. 

It is explained in the article where the jitter was measured- look again.

An audio engineer? Is that like a sanitation engineer?

Now watch some youtube videos from someone who actually knows something:

 

why digital circuits influence sound quality

My, my. Saying the f word to another forum member. And I am the one who needs to calm down? 

@amtprod 

I meant no attitude towards you, only questioning the title of "audio engineer" which I assumed was not an actual academic study leading towards an actual degree, and would degrade the title of "professional engineer". 

But it is! I stand corrected: One can obtain a bachelor's and post graduate degrees in audio engineering. 

No idea what Julian has for education; if he is an actual engineer. Of course we all know there are many who make a few recordings at home and all of a sudden they are calling themselves an "audio engineer". 

Hans is a member of the audio engineering society, since 1884, not sure if Julian is.

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.

Never heard of that one. Thanks for the info. 

This may be interpreted by some as enlightening, others may interpret it as pure lies, so be it: 

Reiki founder Nigel Bell comes from an IT background and like many others doubted the benefit of using a network switch in a streaming system until he tried a cheap example and had an epiphany. He expected to hear nothing or nothing more than a subtle change but in his words “it simply wasn’t”. That was in 2019 when he was working on an equipment rack that not only sounded good but looked good enough to put in a living room, and this revelation forced a change of approach and resulted in the Reiki SuperSwitch range.
