Improving streaming SQ

@veroguy I love my Gigafoil (w/LPS) and just ordered another for my second system. Also had an EtherRegen upstream just ahead of the router. I recently added the ENO Ag after the Gigfoil and right before my Streamer. I felt I didn't need the EtherRegen anymore. However I don't have my router powered with an LPS. Did you try A/B'ing with and without the LPS on your router? I don't want to invest in another power supply if it isn't necessary.

@rareace , I didn't do a formal A/B with LPS on the router.   But I remember a slight uplift in SQ.  At the time, I was using Netgear Powerline adaptors to get ethernet to my streamer from the router. (this uses house electrical wire to send packets)   I was having intermittent dropouts.  The LPS on the router solved it.  So the change did "something".  I no longer use the Powerline stuff, and run a long cable to the streamer.

In theory, with the Gigafoil downstream it shouldn't matter.  I should A/B router LPS.  If I do, I'll report back.

Thanks for sharing your experience of using the ENO after the gigafoill. I've been considering it.  I'm going to try it out now.  I think the Gigafoil is a great, but little-known, product.  Thanks for sharing the etheregen experience, too.  Been wondering how it stacked up against the GFv4.

@veroguy Sounds good. Let me know if you do!

For those wanting to save some money compared to @audioengr‘s solution: inserting an Apple Airport Extreme to your ethernet and connecting it to the server via a Meicord ethernet cable achieves much the same thing for not much money

@veroguy  Have you considered adding a network switch after your router but before your Gigafoil?  I have a similar setup to yours...Router to BJ Cat6 cable to Gigafoil v4 (HDPLEX LPS) to AQ Diamond to my DAC.  I've been reading up on network switches...and was curious if you've tried it before.....The Gigafoil was my latest addition and I'm happy with the results so far!
