Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@audphile1" I don’t think stacking switches is a great idea." Agree but no can do if using the optical cable. Here’s the current setup and below the EtherREGEN words to the wise (who can read). So if optical, then two switches....jesh I’m flummoxe... 
Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer?
Short version. I too went from a computer to a streamer. Like Wow man!

@classdstreamer Last stop is steamer. The nice man @ EtherREGEN who’s name I currently can’t conjure was very helpful/patient when I got my unit. One cardinal rule of use he told me that if using fiber only to come in one side with Ethernet cabl...

Just tried something. Instead of what amounts to using two switches I went to one. Took the Dlink away and plugged in Ethernet cable from wall into EtherRegen. This only required no longer using the fiber optic cable and running a Ethernet cable ...

@curiousjim We had 2 Megs DSL back a few years. No streaming then. Now high end streaming is a lot of fun. I’m nostalgic about 33&1/3 but that’s not a deep pang.

@fredrik222  B I N G O “What is clear is that you can’t plug use a bad switch, and then add another device to clean up the bad switch output. That’s not how things work in networking” Might I ask what your day job is? I’m guessing something in ...

@audphile1 KISS got ‘cha. Thx for the six part test. @twoleftears The rundown is as follows. Wall Ethernet into D link switch. Out of Dlink switch short audio grade ethernet into EtherREGEN & short run to Roon nucleus. Also into EtherRegen ad...

@fredrik222 Did you glance at specs for the Angel Boom? That’s not in my wheelhouse. @sns (Nice System!!!) The EtherREGEN has a fiber optic out and I want to use that as I’m certain using the EtherREGEN is a definite improvement. But like my ha...

Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Clear as mud as my Dad used to say. No I got this. Thanks all. So far my take away is defiantly cleanup power into the switch and a better switch could/should (????) help. A better switch would require finding out the voltage needed to power the...
