Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System

Appreciate the responses. I haven’t identified any hardening of the sound so far, but I’ve also been listening at lower volumes early in the morning. I will say, though, the clutter is more than expected with the FMCs and LPS. I’ve had to spend quite a bit of time with placement and organization. 

Can someone recommend a U.S. dealer for Network Acoustics?….or does the Eno need to be purchased from the U.K. ?

thanks 

@j_andrews Network Acoustics sells direct. Email them what your set up consists of. They’re very helpful. 

@jjss49 I didn’t go all in with linear power supplies for the FMC modules if that’s what you’re referring to. And for several reasons -

• I questioned the unbelievable clutter to improvement ratio of FMC
• FMC units, despite adding LPS will still be generating and injecting enough noise into the signal as part of the conversion process
• A very clean passive implementation of Eno streaming system that requires no power supply therefore introducing no noise of its own
• The level of improvement I got from Eno

You can build a mega component ethernet signal chain with each of the pieces removing some and adding some noise, complicating the troubleshooting process as well as adding potential suspects. We have enough variables with streaming to loose our marbles over.
My personal take on it - for me, less is more. If I’m investing money into fine tuning the streaming it will be to upgrade a DAC/streamer. In my mind that’s where the major improvements come in.

I am still using fiber/converters into a Bonn switch then eno into my server.  I have tried both fiber and Ethernet between by router and the Bonn switch and really cannot discern a difference as I don't have a noise issue.  However, the hardening issue is interesting so I will try going back to straight Ethernet and listen more.  Easy to do since both the fiber and Ethernet runs remain in-place.

I did move my larger linear power supply near my modem and router and use it to power both, with other smaller linear supplies near the other peripherals.
