I love reading Nelson Pass. One of the best engineers making great gear. He obviously does not try and alienate potential customers with $$$ but he did say quite a bit about expensive power cables :-)

can you please provide a link to the source of your information where Nelson Pass said quiet a bit about expensive power cables? 
 

If you had engineering background you would understand how you can manipulate the sound of a streaming system by passive filters, shielding, etc. and how it eventually impacts the sound of a DAC. I won’t be wasting time telling you how this is accomplished. Do your own research. 

I just installed the iFi Silencer.

It is placed after my WW Platinum 8 Ethernet cable which comes from my modem and then is going into a Uptone Regen.

And even though from the Uptone I am running fiber to my Lumin X1, I can honestly say the iFi Silencer has provided even more dimension/depth into the soundstage. So, it must be doing something to reduce noise, etc.

The cost for these things is relatively cheap, but worth the cost.

So, I just disconnected the iFi Silencer. I will still be experimenting, but at this moment, I am on the side that it seems the iFi Silencer created a little more congestion in the soundstage.

I have two of these, I prefer them upstream - connected to the wifi router or modem rather than downstream where the sound gets crisper but less musical.

I've recently added an iFi Lan Silencer Pro and it's quite remarkable. Great addition.
