@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.
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.

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? ozzy |
@ozzy Thanks. Is the optical port an in or out or both? I was planning to run optical from a FMC to the A side of the ER then ethernet to my streamer. My Bricasti streamer doesn’t have an optical input just ethernet. How do you go from the ER directly to your Lumin with optical? I thought the A side optical slot was just input not an out. B side only has ethernet. Still learning here. |
@ozzy disregard my question I just read you can reverse the B side to input and A side to output if your endpoint has optical input. Nice flexibility👍. So much to learn. |
