Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!


I just received this item that I purchased from Stack Audio after being impressed with the AUVA 100 Speaker footers.

For any of the Audio Streamers out there, my initial comment as to this item: The SmoothLAN Network Filter is WOW!

From first plug in, the soundstage deepened and widened immensely. How the heck this occurs is nothing short of amazing. I have tried many of the major brand ethernet filters, and some of them, maybe, did something. But not enough to keep them. I either sent them back or sold them. I did however keep an iFi Silencer unit.

My digital streaming consists of an EtherRegen sending out the signal via Fiber to my Lumin X1. I have the Stack Audio device going into the EtherRegen from the Modem.

And, since I have my Apple TV coming out of the EtherRegen it will be interesting to see if the Video improves.

Check out the review in EAR.

I'm sure they will. Too bad though that you didn't even try it first.

I haven't tried it yet, but iFi also just came out with a $300 "LAN iPurifier Pro." It does support Gig internet, which can be useful for 100Mbps+ video streams. I'll eventually compare it to my TP Link optical converter boxes. 

Recently, I did try two iFi LAN iSilencers in the stereo system, which I thought helped. I put one between the multi-gig switch and first converter, and the other between the second converter and streamer. And, on the theater system, I also liked the picture improvement that an iSilencer made with the Apple TV.
