Can you tell me more about John Swenson’s grounding tweak? I seem to have missed that one.
Thanks.
Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
My streamer connects to an ethernet port of a Netgear Orbi satellite. It's a modified Allo Digione Signature mounted on a USBridge Signature, both powered by an Allo Shanti LPS.
The Orbi is a stock unit powered by a Teradak LPS. I've noticed a significant jump using John Swenson's technique to "ground" the stock SMPS. The LPS provided further improvements but were not as dramatic as introducing the grounding adapter.
If I intend to take things one step forward, which would make the most sense in my system?
1. An "audiophile" switch that supposedly reclocks and improves the signal.
2. Some type of filter or isolation to reduce noise (Gigafoil, ENO, FMC, etc.).
3. Modifying/Replacing the Orbi.
Thanks in advance!

@serancien @curiousjim I would like that Swenson SMPS info too. Thanks. |
I use EERO mesh network and Network Acoustics Eno filter between the EERO and the streamer (Bricasti M3 DAC with network player). I would advise tackling room acoustics first and foremost then upgrading the components (streamer and dac) before venturing onto things like expensive Ethernet cables and filters. The most ROI will be in upgraded components and not in Ethernet or other cable upgrades. Just a free advice. Take it for what it’s worth. |
