ifi LAN iSilencer

@akg_ca 

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.        

So what does it "silence" exactly in the Ethernet protocol

Stop tolling and google it. And write to iFi if you need any additional details. Buy one. Try it. Take it apart and report back to us with your findings and pictures - what did you hear in your system? What’s inside this gadget? Be productive. Don’t be a douche.

@audphile1 - trolling like asking how exactly it works? Let’s see. Manufacturer Web site claims actually a) galvanic isolation and b) EMI noise reduction. That’s it. No "soundstage improvements" or anything specifically audio. Good for them.

Now, in transaction protocols only huge amount of noise matter and one would see it in Web browsing and Netflix stream first. I.e. transmission disruptions. drops and packets lost even after retries. It is easy to measure packet loss by going to any Internet connection measurement site and checking for packet loss. In any case, audio stream is like 10 megabits per second tops and typical connection (like mine) is 500 MB/s. So that audio stream can handle serious packet loss and retransmit will recover it. It is all pre-buffered anyways. Just checked - zero packet loss at 550 MB/s from me to the cloud with many, many connections, routers and optical/electrical conversions, reclocking and buffering. Is this productive enough for you, mr teacher?

Does Amazon use any of such devices to improve "reliability"? Reliability is huge for cloud providers. Even 0.1% matter. Oops, they use Belkin cables.

Buddy you’re trolling. But you finally googled it.

What components did you try the iFi gizmo on? it’s not a thousand dollar gadget. Give it a shot and if it doesn’t do anything in your system report back and return it to Amazon. Voice your concerns to the manufacturer instead of provoking others. I get it you like the smell if your farts. Just makes you seem desperate for attention.
