Cool. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
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.

Well, I just got the iFi ethernet filter. First impression, it does seem to do more than the much more expensive Aardvark, but not sure if it is a keeper. Right now, it sounds like the music moved up a bit in frequency response. There does seem to be a wee bit more detail. I’ll let it play for a few days before I take it out to decide its merits. ozzy |
@ozzy Nice! Thanks for the follow up! Have fun and keep us posted. |
For anyone interested…Have had a few days now with my 2 Pink Faun ethernet isolators. Well, I have to say they are doing something not for the good when plugged directly into my Bricasti M5 streamer. It takes the life out of the music. Really noticeable when playing live recordings. The stage depth, recording room acoustics and micro details just fade away. I placed one on my server router connection in a separate room and that didn’t appear to make a difference good or bad. Leaving that pink faun in place and adding a second pink faun in front of my optical set up sounds excellent. Mesh router- ethernet- pink faun- fmc-optical-fmc-ethernet-streamer seems to work best on my system set up. Can’t say it’s much of an improvement over not using them. Minor improvement at best probably due to having optical. |
