@jjss49 I didn’t go all in with linear power supplies for the FMC modules if that’s what you’re referring to. And for several reasons -
- I questioned the unbelievable clutter to improvement ratio of FMC
- FMC units, despite adding LPS will still be generating and injecting enough noise into the signal as part of the conversion process
- A very clean passive implementation of Eno streaming system that requires no power supply therefore introducing no noise of its own
- The level of improvement I got from Eno
You can build a mega component ethernet signal chain with each of the pieces removing some and adding some noise, complicating the troubleshooting process as well as adding potential suspects. We have enough variables with streaming to loose our marbles over.
My personal take on it - for me, less is more. If I’m investing money into fine tuning the streaming it will be to upgrade a DAC/streamer. In my mind that’s where the major improvements come in.
