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.

Yes, originally when I had the PS Direct Stream Dac, I used similar converters. They seemed to work well.

So the Lumin sounds better with the fiber in than with the copper?

Oh yes. The PS Direct Stream did also. Using fiber eliminates the wire in the equation. To me, the sound change was immediate and a large improvement. There is a calmness to the sound.
