I know many here are satisfied with the English Electric Plus .
I am curious if other tried the Smoothlan Regenerator, not the basic one.
I feel the Regenerator is a bit different vs the EE1, because it reclocks.
From the Stack audio site, they write about the Regenerator : „in the Advanced reclocking technology – Triple active jitter attenuation and multi-stage passive filtering for ultra-low-noise signal synchronization.”
EE1 specs:
Both cost quite the same.
Hi, are you asking if anyone has tried both?
There’s a topic in the streaming section on the regenerator version of the SmoothLAN.
I’ve not tried the EE1+, I’ve had the SmoothLAN Regenerator for quite a few weeks now and it’s excellent, I knew quite quickly it wasn’t going back!
I think you just need to try it and see how it works for you. 60 day no questions asked return policy so no risk really 
Edit: It has passive filters either side of the clock as well.
Exactly the same here, and that was coming from the non-Regenerator SmoothLAN.
Thanks Mark. Yes, my question is about the comparison of both, with a Naim streamer .
Glad you enjoy yours. The majority seem to have the EE1 plus, and some the basic Smoothlan.
As you said, I can try and return if not satisfied. But don’t want to buy both to compare.
I doubt there are many (any?!) that have directly compared both unfortunately. I did consider the EE1+ as well, there was positive feedback on both, but I also wasn’t prepared to buy both to make my own mind up.
In the end I decided on Stack Audio, the AUVA feet I bought from them a week earlier gave me a very positive impression for the company, the description on their site gave a lot of info on how and why the product worked, whereas the Chord description is pretty general and vague.
Also, I do like to support small companies with clever people behind them that are passionate about their work. Worked out very well with Puritan Audio and the designer of my speakers.
Just my thoughts
The fact that the Smoothlan also reclocks is, for me, a reason why I might not use one. Like you, I have a PhoenixNet, before my streamer and that already reclocks the signal so additional reclocking doesn’t really do much to excite me. Some have mentioned that it’s almost too smooth and that’s not what the EE1+ does in my system.
I’ve very recently upgraded to an Organik dac and was initially having some problems using Sense via my Zenith. They’re not currently playing well together and in my efforts to establish if there was a network issue, removed the EE1+ and a length of Music cable before resorting to the Linn app as a controller. Hmmm, not quite as good to listen to but it all worked very happily together. After a few days I decided to reinstall the EE1 and, oh yeah, that’s just spot on.
My advice would be to try both, I can imagine that if you had a less capable switch, the Smoothlan may well be perfect but it’s doing a slightly different job to the EE1+ and I’d be loath to mess up what I’m getting at the moment.
Very interesting Dave. I have the PhoenixNet as you.
So you advise me more the EE1 plus , if I understand well.
I won’t try both. In my understanding, a reclocking should give beneficial results. Many use the EE1 switch or Cisco catalyst in addition to the PhoenixNet, and prefer that to PhoenixNet alone.
I tried the Etheregen in addition to PhoenixNet but preferred the PN alone.
Maybe I should stay as I am or try the EE1 plus.
Don’t know yet.
If you can try either for free, I’d do that.
I’m recommending the EE1+ simply because it sounds great in my system - it’s better with it than without it and I think it’s a bit of a bargain. I’d be surprised if you didn’t like what it does.
I will probably try it. No dealer here to let you try them, and even no dealer stocking them.
So I would have to buy both and return one or both after. I won’t do that.
@Cohen1263 has it with the PhoenixNet. If not, he will respond.
Ditto from me for the Regenerator! 
I agree that reclocking twice seems a bit over the top. In my case I’ve nothing before it or after it.
