Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator


Has anyone tried one of these? Love the name...

I have an Ether Regen which outputs fiber to my Lumin X1.

So, I guess this device would go into the input of the Ether Regen but would its use of fiber out negate the Aardvark advantages? Will I be able to tell if it improves sound quality?

Anyway, I am such a tweaker that I went ahead and ordered one anyway.

Just looking for anyone who may have experience with the device.

in my experience the conversion to opticsl has its own issues leading to a grey, anodine sound. Certainly the converters lead high quality LPSs to get acceptable reults. I nevertheless ultimately stayed with Ethernet

Perhaps, but I have found it to really sound better, much more natural sound. However, my Lumin X1 can receive fiber direct without conversions.

So, I have fiber coming out of the Ether Regen to the Lumin, seems to be much better than when I used ethernet cable. At least with my set up.

Fiber optic definitely sounds better than without it on my set up as well.  I am using an LPS on both FMC’s but not on the router.  @ozzy It will be interesting to see if you hear improved results on your Fiber set up.  

Oh, boy, just received the Aardvark! Came early via Fed Ex.

I'll give it a listen today!
