@lollipopguild Congrats on the SCM 40s — great speakers. Best of luck with the streaming and interested in hearing what you find with the various options. It really is a wonderful, awful hobby, isn’t it?
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

Long story short - I'm sticking with the Eno having received it today. Already it's clearly "just right". The chaps at NA told me I'd hear a little more detail with the Muon, but that the sound signature would stay the same, so decided to draw this quite expensive odyssey to a close. I think it's fair to say that the Eno is better than the ISOCAT7 (anyone want to buy a "pre-loved" one ;-) ). I might still see some benefit in putting the Sotm between my stock switch and the Eno. All opinions welcome.

@wsrrsw ..agree with you on ‘less in the chain’ I found ENO to be by far the best and most natural sounding filter under $1500 range. I used to own previous generation SoTM combo :-) |
