A good portion of that probably is.
The Ethernet cables, Switches and Network related sound thread. Share your listening experience only.
- Thread starter bluenight
- Start date
And was there any solution to be found?
Long story short.

They sent a replacement that seems to be working fine.
Nice. I will probably continue reading anyway because i am a curious guy.
So for my own listening experience my system have never sounded better since installing ifi lan iSilencer. I have 3 know. One for DMP-A6 streamer, one for apple tv4k, one for Oled Tv.
Particularly bigger more fullbodied higher resolution sound stands out for me. I am not getting any tilt to brighter sound that @Exocer described. For me its the opposite with warmer sound.
I also experienced a jump up in picture and sound from TV when i finally bought a supra cat8 Ethernet cable for my Lg oled tv. Instead of using the wifi from Tv.
Yep switches should just be plug and play with no settings needed if am not mistaken. And how's the sound?

System sounds better then ever with the SW-10 in the chain.

Switches are plug&play. Even those with a management facility. These start-up as a dumb switches. Problem is when someone takes a proprietary switch, attempts to modify firmware in order to "optimise data flow" and close access to the management facility for the user, there is no way to fix their mistakes.
Looks like the new gustard n18 switch is available in the Chinese market .
I'm keen on this or the sw-6

Further proof that LHY makes questionable devices. Hidden/falsified clock measurements, impedance mismatches, and flagship device failures.
External clocking does nothing but add jitter and produce harmonic “spurri”.
Awesome. In what way? If you can go in to more detail.
So what can be the benefits of using better clocks inside audiophile switches exe oxco clocks over generic ones?
As they say Ethernet buffers and resend discarded packet data anyway.
Personally i wouldn't rule out the importens of timing in the data flow still.
Do you think thats the case?
Or is it the quiter components used that makes the difference(the noise leaking to the homes electric grid or through the Ethernet Cables.). And they only use better clocks because they only think it makes a difference.
The reasons i can think of. So better timing in data flow can leed to less buffering and resend createing less noise at the receiving end and better timing in the data for the Dac to handle.
So theoretically i perfect switch would send perfect data with no buffering needed at all for the receiving end no errors in data at all to be discarded and resent. Perfect live flow.
But in reality would it matter if the Ethernet is to dumb and buffer and create there own timing anyway when they send the last bit over to the receiving device. And that the perfect clocking of the audiophile switch wouldn't matter anyway.
Basically are there anylimits to how perfect Ethernet data can flow when streaming music or video?

Sounds more 3D with the LHY SW10 with speakers.
No less harshness or anything else? But you did already use a great Switch before also so maybe less benefits to have. Do you use both EtherRegen and SW-10 in the chain at the same time?

My chain was already not harsh. I have 2 puritan psm156's feeding power to almost everything.
I use three devices at the same time in the chain. LHY FMC to the LHY SW-10 to the EtherRegen.
Ha i just readed this. So maybe my answer have allready been answered.
But one easy way to find out with listening tests would be if you have an audiophile switch allready with OXCO clock and then connect an even better outside external clock and here the improvements clearly with no doubt.
I guess there are loads of people allready experienceed this in hear?
Sw6 with ock2 for exemple.
