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

Thanks again @jjss49 . Looking at that bundle, it's clearly cheaper than many ethernet filter products out there, and I guess I can also incrementally upgrade the bundle at a later date |
“best filtering is well implemented optical in my experience” That is not my experience. I found LAN cables to render fuller sound that is closer to analog than the digital sheen experienced with fiber optical kit. Also, the quality of server/streamer matters as well. The consumer grade laptops, Mac-mini are more prone to producing excessive noise. |
@lalitk . Point taken. I'll be feeding my Innuos Zenith mk3. I already have a SotM ISOCAT7, so will be able to compare a compete LAN option against optical. |
