Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!


I just received this item that I purchased from Stack Audio after being impressed with the AUVA 100 Speaker footers.

For any of the Audio Streamers out there, my initial comment as to this item: The SmoothLAN Network Filter is WOW!

From first plug in, the soundstage deepened and widened immensely. How the heck this occurs is nothing short of amazing. I have tried many of the major brand ethernet filters, and some of them, maybe, did something. But not enough to keep them. I either sent them back or sold them. I did however keep an iFi Silencer unit.

My digital streaming consists of an EtherRegen sending out the signal via Fiber to my Lumin X1. I have the Stack Audio device going into the EtherRegen from the Modem.

And, since I have my Apple TV coming out of the EtherRegen it will be interesting to see if the Video improves.

Check out the review in EAR.

@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.

@brunomarcs so okay reviews over at Audiophile Style on AD and some people have questioned the use of counterfeit SFP? Lots of carbon fiber if that’s your thing. They are having a sale right now. They sent me an email on if 50% off so it’s a good deal. I am very happy with my Sonore Optical Module Deluxe to ER, they work well together. 

I have that 50% off deal too is why I ask. I already have AD clock and PS for my ER. There product page has a lot to be desired trying to understand it. The SGC company has about 6 boxes and lps it seems. 

SGC?  Small Green Computer... 

If you are going fiber you only need Optical Deluxe and upgrade the power supply.  And you are dealing with a domestic company. Not a guy building stuff at night in Hong Kong.  But they do make nice stuff.
