I am not at all surprised by your impressions of M3 as a Roon renderer + DAC. I honestly believe DAC’s with network cards is the future of digital streaming. One would be hard pressed to tell a difference between separates (dedicated streamer + DAC) to a integrated DAC with network card as long as their integration is meticulously designed and implemented. My Merging +player is another fine example of Roon Core player + DAC in one box. I am still not fully warmed up to Roon but regardless the sublime performance of Merging +player is so compelling that I don’t feel the need for a SOTA server like Taiko Extreme:-)
Which Ethernet filter?
Hello all,
My new Innuos streamer system is coming along nicely, and I've been startled how my A-B comparison of USB cables affected the overall SQ - I settled on the FTA Sinope. I'm now looking at enhancing the ethernet feed to the Innuos.
Presently, I have the SotM ISO-CAT7 (limited Red edition with dCBL-CAT7u cable to DAC), and noticed a lift in detail once installed.
I'm very interested in the Network Acoustics ethernet options. Has anyone compared either the Eno or Muon systems to the either the IS0-CAT6 or ISO-CAT7?
Many thanks,
Mark

@lalitk Yeah a relationship with Roon can be one of love/hate type but lately it’s been OK plus Roon works great with this DAC.
