Anyone using a LAN isolator?


For those running an Ethernet cable to their streaming solution, whether Raspberry pi, nuc, streamer, etc, anyone using a LAN isolator? If so, what are the benefits and which one are you using?

@thyname - Where did you purchase your SILENT SWITCH OCXOs?  Did you find a seller in the in the USA or did you need to order them from Hong Kong/Asia?

Thanks.  Was it a smooth transaction/good seller? 

How about the switch, can you hear any difference between the OCXO clocked silent switch and others like Bonn or English Electric?

Since the cost was <$100 I tried it. I felt there was a very small change in sound quality. Not zero, but nothing to get excited about, but I imagine it might depend on the specifics of your system and network.

Hi @mitch2 . Everything worked out very well with the manufacturer direct. As for impressions and comparison with other products, you can read below. Same username I have here and there. It’s a long thread that someone else started, you will notice my posts starting from #36 on March 2021:
