I thought I would share a recent tweak I picked  up on from an Audiogon thread.  I had another “Oh My” moment similar to the Snubway results.  It’s the Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter.  Ships from England with a return guarantee. I have tried several ethernet filters IFi, pink faun, AQ with no improvement.  This one made a noticeable improvement I did not expect.
My set up:  Mesh router-ethernet cable-FMC-optical cable- FMC- ethernet- SmoothLAN-smoothLan ethernet cable- Bricasti streamer

So as of late, I am a big fan of Stack Audio Equipment footers (AUVA EQ) and I’ve had expanded these footers to my DAC, Streamer, and Switch.  

The SmoothLAN was on my radar, but I was pining for the 10x more expensive Muon Pro filter.  Not sure if I want to spend that kind of dough on a Network filter after acquiring the PNET and the Teddy Pardo for my upstream Netgear Switch, so I just decided to pull the trigger on the SmoothLan.  There seems to be a lot of demand for it as the dispatch time is 2-3 days from order date, so that’s a good sign.

It should be here next week.
