Pimping your router


1. Use a wired router only
2. If wireless router is needed, separate router for wifi
3. only streamer, NOTHING ELSE connected 
4. use LPS to feed router
5. use shortest possible quality cable to streamer
6. use Acoustic Revive RLT-1 filter on spare router or streamer port
7. wrap router and LPS in EMI/RFI shielding material
8. use EMO EN70-HD filter near streamer for ethernet connection
9. use quality shielded cable between router and internet access point

All of these will individually improve your streaming SQ, in aggregate the effect is significant

Placed my router onto a Vibration Platform for microscope 

Got a faster & sharper pic on my iMac ...
I did check with Lumin who confirmed that the Ethernet connection has galvanic isolation.
That equally applies to my Innuos Zenith Mk3. Nevertheless inserting the EMO isolator with a short Meicord Opal made a significant improvement. Not obvious, I agree...
Guys

With digital signals, they Work or Don't Work. You are streaming audio at 25khz? I stream HDTV at 30mhz. No need for exotic cables, just decent quality.

@timinphoenix,

your basic hypothesis is wrong. Yes, digital signals travel in mHz. The problem, though is that along the way they pick up RMI/EFI as well as ground level noise, and: no, Dacs don‘t fully filter them out. The result is distortion in the conversion to analogue that unfortunately is quite audible. Hence better cables and additional filters are useful and audibly so.
