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.

antigrunge2,

Can you provide a link to the Antelope clock you are using. I just did a search and the ones I looked at are really expensive.

It‘s called the Antelope Audiophile 10M clock and helas is expensive. I also modified the power supply running it off a Sean Jacobs DC 3/4 PSU.

@ozzy Thanks anyway…I couldn’t pass it up and I  bought a used 2021 ER bundle that includes the ER, After Dark Clock, AD dual LPS to power the ER and Clock, and AD BNC Clock cable.  Been looking at ER’s for a while.  Sorry for getting off topic- my bad bringing up the ER clock etc..Look forward to hearing the  Smooth LAN when it arrives.

tksteingraber,

You’re ok with the post. Sounds like you’re ready. I would be interested in your opinion on the usage of the clock. Will you be running fiber out of the EtherRegen?

antigrunge2,

$7000 for the clock! Holy Cow! I have never ventured much into the clock realm. Do you find it really helps?
