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...

And those who were holding out for the Ethergen Model 2, it is not coming. 

yes, that v2 ether regen has been ’just around the corner’ for over 3 years now ...

in the long term we are all dead

lol

Please believe me!  The Ether regen 2 is going to be for sale in September of 2026.  I believe!

@abd1  For me the SW10 Pro is the endgame switch. I've worked very hard to get the noise floor as low as possible and this helped a lot. 

I am using ethernet into a Gustard N18 to fiber via single mode Finisar 1325 SFPs into Etherregen. Total silence and incredible dynamics.
