Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!

Haven't tried anything else, that is removing the ER, moving the Smoothlan to upstream etc. to what I stated above. But going off of memory from many months ago, so take it with a grain of salt, to the last time I re-tested the ER by taking it in and out, what I am getting by adding the Smoothlan to the exising chain with the ER is a much bigger uplift than adding the ER with a Plixir linear PS.

These ethernet tweaks are so system dependent, that is the beauty of money back guarantee's, but what I am getting with the Smoothlan is way beyond the vocabulary of "tweak". 

I saw the video posted above from the Aussie guy, never seen one of his videos before and haven't seen any since, but it was a few months ago so don't completely remember what he said, but I recall he had quite a nice setup, and was completely over the top, and the skeptic in me thought to myself I have seen this before- He sounds like Huff with all his " Wow! this is the best ______ I have ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!" until next week when he tests something else and says the same thing. But Aussie guy wasn't kidding- this little block of British alu-min-yum is the real deal- at least it is in his and my system. 

@brunomarcs  Are you using fiber at all?  

@mclinnguy I would not take the ER out of the chain. I know you are using fiber what FMC & SFP are you using. I was using the entry level stuff you can buy on Amazon then found a deal on the Sonore Optical Module V1 and this was a massive jump in performance, then I upgraded to the V2 and combined with the ER and Stack SL this was another jump in performance and sound quality. Lots of discussions at WBF and Audiophile Style on these subjects. Very knowledgeable people there including the the folks from Uptone and Sonore contribute at both forums.

@tkrtrb125 No I'm not using fiber. I also don't have 300 hours on the SL. Is that what we need, 300 hours seems like a lot of time. I might have 6!

@brunomarcs no not at all. 300 hrs is nothing. So go into Roon (making an assumption)  pick a play list and put it on repeat. Turn off your amplification and just let it run.....300hrs will add up while you are away, at work or on vacation. I put my Zenith on with Radio Paradise playing while I was out of town for 2 weeks.

Fmc I'm looking at an Afterdark brand.
