Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
Has anyone directly compared between the two? If my conversion isn't off, it looks like the Eno Streaming System is roughly $1,000 compared to the SGC Optical Isolation System at $350 (sale) w/linear power supply.

@jerryg123 , I am about to upgrade my ethernet and was looking at geting the Add-Powr Symphony I/O. It is about $500. Then I look at the fiber solution you posted and think it may work but is it too subtle, and then you have to add more boxes. Opinion? |
@kota1 the fiber option is going to eliminate EMI and RFI as noise cannot travel across fiber. It is just blacker, cleaner. Add the LPS to eliminate the 5v switching and noise. The LPS facilitate both fiber converters. I hope this helps. |
@jerryg123 I'll try it, thanks |
I replaced my EtherRegen (fiber into the A side) and LPS1.2 power supply with the following converter and an iFi power supply. I couldn't hear a difference after the switch. I purposely picked the StarTech just because it wasn't the cheapest (actually is pretty pricey compared to $20ish ones on Amazon). I have no idea if it makes a difference over the $20 ones but bang for buck compared to the EtherRegen was a big bonus for me at least. Just adding 10 feet of fiber between my router and EtherRegen or StarTech was the biggest improvement for me, outside of buying a pretty decent streamer.
