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.

Folks, here is another option to optically isolate your Ethernet (RJ45) based setups. I’ve asked my dealer @gestalt to secure Optical Bridge as soon as it becomes available in North America. The OPT Bridge, powered by my JCAT OPTIMO 3 DUO LPS will be placed ahead of my Telegartner M12 switch.

Total noob with this side of stereo and streaming, so hope I don't annoy anyone with simple questions. Is it better to have both the cable modem and the wifi router as close to your equipment as possible, or should the two be separated some distance? I've always had them next to each other in the basement, and mainly use wifi but I want to move towards wire cabling from basement to the stereo (ethernet?) and then contend with it from there. |
It seems like a more expensive GigaFOILv4 |
@mitch2 no not at all the OPT bridge is fiber optic conversion/isolation. The Gigafoil is and expensive version of galvanic isolatior like the Ever Star products. No?

There is not a consensus regarding this. Some very knowledgeable audio streamers advocate close proximity to the audio system and others advocate remote separation.Both sides report excellent sonic outcomes. Once again, implementation is key. Charles
