They work for some and for others not so much. Kind of like power cables and the like. Don't be a binary thinker (cuts both ways) and just disqualify the product or people's position on that given product, positive or negative.

I always like when somebody posts “This very inexpensive”. It’s typically not “very inexpensive “ to me anyway’s. When someone says to ME very inexpensive I think $20-$50US. Not over $200US. Thats more like a, well let me look into it, and think about it. Inexpensive is when I think, hum, $30-$40, I’ll try one out. At $200 there’s a bunch out there and I already have plenty of that kind of thing. |
I have tried: 1. Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System. Did it do something ? Yes! It smoothed out dynamics, tamed the highs and relaxed the mids. Soundstage collapsed. None of the effects were desirable and I sold it 2. Fiber optic conversion - adds glassy and cold character. Didn’t mike it 3. iFi LAN iSilencer - made zero difference or if it did make a difference I can’t hear it. Because it does no harm I left it in my system Other than using the best possible Ethernet cable and keeping your network components out of your system and plugged into a different circuit, there’s nothing else to do with Ethernet. |
For you and your system. @audphile1 for others that is not the case. Interested to know what FMC and FSP’s you used in your trial. I had the exact opposite experience but then again my network only has 2 meters of copper in it. And I use quality FMC and rolled FSP's to find the right combo. My entire house is fiber and our town is all fiber.

@luvtubes69 I was describing my experience in my system and I thought that was implied. I set up my streaming with EERO mesh network. My Purist Audio Ethernet cable is 1m in length. It is connected to iFi gizmo on the EERO side and feeds my streamer directly.
