Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter?


I was wondering if anyone has tried the new (and expensive) Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter.  I find that some SR products such as their cable line are nicely effective while others..........well, maybe no so much.  According to SR these things run $300 each and plug into unused ethernet ports to "filter" ethernet signals.  Please weigh in here so I can ascertain whether they are worth a try.  Thank you.

"noise cannot travel over light". Huh? Fiber optic, like any other medium, transmits what is put in. Garbage in, garbage out. One downside of fiber optic is the signal has to be converted to light and then back to copper so 2 steps are added where noise or signal degradation could occur. So fiber optic may add noise to the system. I like keeping it as simple as possible. I know there are a lot of people in favor of fo. they either sell it or have bought it.

I am using 10Gtek Media Converter that has been recommended in another thread. Perception is that we are enjoying a cleaner, lower noise floor signal/data, to our sever/streamer and DAC. 

No measurements to support this though many on this forum have used the same or similar equipment and reported the same findings. 

Not sure if this SR device would be beneficial in my application.

@fredrik222 I do not care to see your opinions. 

 

@fredrik222 Would love to hear what you are using for Ethernet switch, cable, DAC and digital front end. Please share with us what a person of superior digital knowledge uses.

@jerryg123  you really don't. Every thread where you are at you ask, and I post, and then you ignore....

Due some house projects I am currently running wireless for streaming and uploading new music. I have subscriptions to Qobuz, Amazon Music, and occasional I listen to some radio station using TuneIn. 

For networking equipment I use Check Point firewall, Juniper Networks switches and Extreme Networks Access Points (3 covering my house).

 

Plenty happy with the system, could use room treatment however.
