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.

Okay, I'm encouraged by the accounts of @ozzy ​​​​@jaymark, and have figured out a couple different ways to use the SmoothLAN in my network (thanks Ozzy) -- so I've placed my order!

Will report back when it is installed.

Cheers!

@ozzy  Thanks that is exactly what I was interested in confirming.  Do you use an external clock or lps on your etherregen?

@ozzy did the clock make a noticeable difference that you would buy it again?  I am thinking about adding an ER and AD clock.  Thanks

You know I bought the EtherRegen and the clock as a package deal and have never used the EtherRegen without the clock. So sorry I can neither recommend or not its use.

Perhaps see if you can try it with a return policy.
