Yes the filter makes sense, but I meant it was counter intuive for me to spend so much for a filter. But I am glad I did! I will report when I receive the switch.

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.

I know you’re in midst of setting up your streaming setup. Thought I chime in with my recent experiment with the Ethernet network. I’ve been using mesh network in my audio room for few years now, mainly due to my modem being more centrally located in my 3 story home. I always wanted to go direct wired connection between my streamer and modem for obvious reasons as wire being more secure, faster consistent speeds and Wi-FI routers prone to injecting both RFI/EMI interferences in your immediate environment. I recently removed my mesh network between my streamer and Xfinity modem that supports upto 1GB/s speeds and the results were not subtle, actually quite stellar. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting this level of improvement, given my Xfinity network speed. Well, removing mesh network pods was like opening the floodgates. The immediate jump in realism, level of details and separation with instruments and voices…WOW! My recommendation would be to use LINKUP LAN from your modem to Muon Pro Filter + Muon LAN pigtail into your Streamer.

@lalitk did you ever demo the sotm switch? |
@lalitk What mesh system were you using? Did you power it with an LPS? |
