ifi LAN iSilencer


I discovered this Ethernet signal purifier for network audio streamers, just by chance, while surfing the internet.  I have an extremely highly resolving hifi system.  After reading all the positive customer comments and reviews, I said to myself, what the heck, only 89 bucks, let's go for it.  After receiving the ifi, as recommended, I plugged it into my audio switch, then plugged one end of the ethernet cable into it, and plugged the other end of that ethernet cable into my DAC/Streamer.  Now, I already have a variety of audio tweaks throughout my system, including my speakers.  But when I added the ifi, the background got even deeper, darker and blacker.  It was absolutely amazing!!!  This little gizmo worked exactly as advertised!!!  Highly recommended.

@ boucher, I don’t know about your Auralic Aries Femo with sBooster power supply. I’m sure they’re swell. At least to your ears. Anyway, prior to installing iFi, my source wasn’t inherently noisy or abnormally noisy. However, iFi along with the other tweaks I use throughout my audio rig just made everything that much more (incrementally) quieter and blacker, the results of which, I found to be....."Brilliant."

Happy listening.

UPDATE 

 

I. Saw this video and realized that I may have it positioned incorrectly. Instead of having it as a last item in the chain at the player/dac, …maybe it should be at the wall into the router itself

im retooling it ….will report back later in a week or do 

@akg_ca I’m using it at the EERO end then Ethernet cable from iFi to streamer. In either case I struggle to hear any difference to be honest but it could be that my streamer is not as sensitive. I do easily hear differences between Ethernet cables though.

In my audio system, I found the ifi to be the most effective when installed strictly as recommended by the manufacturer.  I have three ethernet cables in my streaming only audio system.  As recommended, I have one ifi plugged directly into the ethernet wall outlet, on the ethernet cable from the wall to my audio switch.  The other two ifi are plugged directly into my audio switch, on the ethernet cables going to my streamer and music server.  Happy listening.
