SmoothLAN Network Regenerator
Purify Your Music Streaming
Designed for Purity between
Your Network and Music Streamer
The SmoothLAN Regenerator is dedicated to the single, critical connection, where digital interference could meet the analogue domain. It filters noise, reclocks timing, and regenerates a stable, uncompromised input.
A Focused Approach to
Your Streaming Path
Why filter a web of connections when only one truly matters, the path that feeds your streamer or DAC? In a typical switch, multiple connections can bleed noise into each other, creating a more complex electrical environment around the one output that matters most.
The SmoothLAN Regenerator cuts through that clutter by focusing solely on the dedicated path between the network and your audio system. It also operates at 100Mbps by design, a deliberate choice focused on signal integrity rather than unnecessary speed.
Featuring Fully Compartmentalised Isolation
At the core of the Regenerator’s performance is Stack Audio’s FCI (Fully Compartmentalised Isolation)
Each circuit is shielded in its own precision-machined pocket, surrounded by exposed gold, providing the shortest, lowest impedance path to ground. This ensures each circuit can perform at its best, free from surrounding noise interference.
Signal Conditioning
Dual-stage passive filtering is applied at both the input and output stages.
This reduces high- frequency noise before regeneration and removes any residual noise introduced during processing, maintaining control across the entire signal path.
A Cable Cannot Enhance,Its Role is to Preserve
Our in-house cable is designed to maintain the integrity of the regenerated Ethernet signal between SmoothLAN and your streamer. Using oxygen-free copper conductors and gold-plated connectors, it provides a stable, low-noise link that protects the work already done.
Claims are easy. Measurements aren’t
Before Regenerator
The eye is partially closed, showing distortion, reduced amplitude, and elevated jitter — timing errors that affect signal clarity.
After Regenerator
The eye is wide open, with sharper transitions, stronger amplitude, and significantly reduced jitter.
Technical Details
The SmoothLAN Regenerator takes the network digital signal, filters, re-clocks and regenerates it, before passing it straight through to the music streamer. It features compartmentalised isolation, optimised grounding and an ultra-low noise power, all designed to produce a clean, noise free signal.

FAQs
The Network Filter is purely passive: it removes noise and interference at the network input. The Regenerator includes passive filtering too, but adds active electronic stages that re-clock and regenerate the signal.
Filtering can remove noise, but it can’t undo timing errors already in the signal. What leaves the Regenerator is timed by its own high-precision master clock, not by whatever is happening upstream on your network.
It depends on your system. The Regenerator already includes passive filtering, so adding the Filter won’t always bring a further benefit, and endlessly cascading network filters isn’t always effective.
If you do use both, place the Filter first, closest to your router or switch, and the Regenerator directly before your streamer. It’s also worth trying the Filter elsewhere in your system to see what works best.
Almost every DAC and streamer re-clocks the audio data, but that clock shares a ground plane with the Ethernet circuitry. Noise from the network interface pollutes that ground before the internal re-clocking even happens.
Cleaning and re-clocking the Ethernet signal before it reaches your streamer means your streamer’s clock has less noise to work against. That means lower jitter and less disturbance to the ground plane, and customers tell us the presentation becomes more natural and effortless.
Even though Ethernet is packet-based, the connection between your switch and streamer never stops. Frames are transmitted constantly, even when no music is playing, and they still carry jitter, phase noise and RF interference.
Your streamer’s network receiver stays active the whole time to keep the link synchronised. So the quality of that signal matters well before the streamer turns the packets into audio.
Between your router or network switch and your streamer, as close to the streamer as possible, using the supplied cable. This gives the cleanest signal as it enters your system. It works best for most systems, but you’re welcome to experiment with other positions.
No. The Regenerator isn’t a switch: it has one input and one output. That’s deliberate. A multi-port switch runs every connection through a single chip, while the Regenerator is dedicated to one connection, with every circuit in its own precision-machined pocket and the clock sealed in a cavity of its own.
If you need to connect several devices, you’ll still use your router or switch, with the Regenerator between it and your streamer.
Yes. The Regenerator works on networks of 1Gbps and beyond. Your router automatically recognises it as a 100Mbps device and sends the signal at 100Mbps, so the Regenerator can operate as designed.
100Mbps is chosen for signal integrity rather than speed. Its narrower bandwidth generates less RF noise and lets the Regenerator filter noise that a gigabit connection is too wide to touch. And 100Mbps is still far more bandwidth than high-resolution audio needs, so playback won’t drop out or buffer.
The Regenerator uses a custom low-noise external power supply with multi-stage filtering and active regulation, designed so the supply doesn’t undo the work the Regenerator is doing.
Every system is unique, so we can’t tell you exactly what you’ll hear. What customers tell us is that the presentation becomes more natural and effortless, with greater space, flow and openness, a character that feels closer to analogue.

The SmoothLAN Regenerator is engineered to deliver the purest digital signal for high-fidelity audio streaming. Its advanced reclocking technology featuring triple active jitter attenuation and multi-stage passive filtering ensures a perfectly synchronized, ultra-low-noise signal to your streamer for uncompromised sonic clarity.
Designed with compartmentalized isolation, the Regenerator’s precision-machined aluminium case acts as an RF shield, with each circuit block housed in separate cavities to prevent cross-talk and interference. A high-performance power supply design with independent regulation for each section, including an isolated master clock, further reduces phase noise and jitter. The result is exceptional audio detail, depth, and transparency, revealing the full potential of your music streaming system.
