I believe the hypsos is set at 12v. I actually didn't like the way it sounded at lower voltages and higher amps. With the hypsos, I was able to try 9v,10v, and 11v, but I always came back to 12v. Don't know why, but I seem to prefer the higher voltage and lower amperage on the etherregen. The lower voltages negatively affected the clarity of the overall sound. Yeah, it can definitely get hot. But it did get hot on the other voltages too from what I recall.

I wonder what alternatives there are in same price/size range with clock input .... and 5-12V DC input

2.0 meter - OS2 single mode grade B fiber patch cable - connector LC UPC to LC UPC duplex - bend insensitive. Insertion Loss (IL) 0.01 (dB) - Return Loss (RL) 75.15 (dB)
(Corning G.657.A1 )

Why are you running single mode on multimode connector?

Tx and rx`?

I also have a Uptone JS-2 lps with ghent audio upgraded dc cables. It is another variable voltage lps and I believe it has a clock input called "sense". I've never used an external clock so I wouldn't be able to tell you the effects. I really like the js-2 sound enough not to resell the lps, but it's actually just being used as a paper weight at the moment. I have a Jcat optimo 3 duo powering the ethernet card, and the Fidelizer Nikola 2 powering my jcat usb card. I prefer the tone of the Nikola 2 but the js-2 is really close. JS-2 may be a touch cleaner but still convincingly natural, and the Nikola 2 is a touch more natural/organic than the js-2. I could easily recommend the Uptone js-2 as a lps for anyone looking for one. I would not recommend Uptone lps1.2 based on personal experience. I don't think it has the juice or reserves to power a lot of components to their desired potential. I actually think it may or may not have damaged my matrix spdif2 at one point. But I can only say good things about their JS-2 and Etherregen.

Im running almost all those things on my AX1600i ATX powersupplies with ghent audio cables. Sold 2 LPSU because of it

Thats why Im looking for the switch to be DC input so it shutsdown with my computer.

I have that exact power supply in my pc. How is the noise floor using that beefy power supply? Do you get dc hum from your dac or amp?

I have never had better sound!

It powers:
Router 12V rail on AX1600i - ghent audio cable with Oyaide DC termination
RTX 4070 standard power cable to AX1600i
UAD-2 solo DSP card motherboard pcie
NAS 12V rail on AX1600i - ghent audio cable with Oyaide DC termination
JCAT USB XE 5V rail on AX1600i - ghent audio molex cable
Pink Faun USB bridge V2 - 5V rail on AX1600i - ghent audio molex cable
Afterdark X1 Constellation Ethernet 5V rail on AX1600i - ghent audio cable with Oyaide DC termination

It will also power the next switch. I ditched 2 LPSU because of it

The noise floor is so low, the black background is blacker than a wormhole in space!

Have you not seen the Ripple/Transients measurements and test of the ATX? or did you just buy it randomly thinking expensive is best?

I just purchased it because I needed a new psu to power my 3080ti graphics card. I also saw that the titanium rated one was more efficient and possibly quieter with better capacitors, but truth be told it wasn't an informed purchase because I was using the jcat optimo 3 duo and nikola 2 power supplies to power my cards.

Its the first/only ATX to have GaN transistors.

This beast is on another level. I have never had such snappy and responding music. It exposed my Aryas truly for what they were. I could not save it with plugins even though it sounded good. The experience with Susvara was so good Arya had to leave.

My experience is that my system sound atleast, atleast as good like a (*)mac mini with teradak and rockna wavelight with auditioned expensive tubes and SS amp!.
_
I believe this ATX needs a good run. It sound so "hard" True, and technical = unforgiving
_
If you have good music player that supports VST like JRIVER:
I can recommend you UAD-2 Solo PCI for cheap and demo there plugins. I only bought one so far, but I will get one more for saturating Hifiman headphones with fine distortion and tube.

*Roon endpoint which beats very expensive alternatives, past price range of Roons own solution and price classes above

I only use DC Blocker on the computer

This power change in chain, gaved med a couple of "out-of-headphone-experience" I really thought sound came from outside my Susvara. Never experience such "tube" like experience where everything is soo visible and holographic. Kicks and snares are so organic. It was this change that made me really justify the purchase of Susvara.

My AGD system has been so open to changes I thought it was the bottleneck regarding Susvara. It was not= Source.

I've been using the audioquest diamond ethernet and enjoy it. Every cable is another place for a weak link.

Each time I changed a cable I heard something different. Note that different doesn't always mean better. For example, audioquest sounds amazing in my main listening rig, but not in the second. That one sound better with cardas. It's all about synergy.

Its finally here: SFP 1G version
https://www.adark.co/products/afterdark-constellation-giesemann-s1-duel-sfp-ethernet-server-adapter

For those of you who like Fiber for the PC. Its even cheaper than mine(Ethernet)

…withouth the SFPs

I wonder how it compares with the Jcat ethernet xe card. I made a cutout using mumetal to put on top of the jcat card, I'm probably going to make a cutout with carbon fiber as well. Going to be doing some experimenting.

I put one ifi acpurifier in power conditioner outlet between where router and switch is connected.

I did here some small improvement with audio opening up for new details and with video looking sharper i thought i detected easier emotions expressed in the faces. With well known material.

I am happy with any small increment step of improvement

Noob question: Why do you use a switcher between the router and the streamer? Isn’t connecting straight to the router fastest and most direct connection without any extra cabling/power supplies?
