Well, I think it sounded better the next day, The lower midrange and bass became fuller. At least to me, but I really don’t know why.
Just wait until you get a 2nd unit...I think I can hear Ringo picking his teeth...

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.

My SL just arrived. I ordered it on Fri June 21. They are busy, it shipped on June 28 and arrived today, I'm in SoCal. Pretty impressive shipping. Whatever this thing does, it does make an immediate change to the sound - it is NOT subtle. So far I like what I hear. I'll try some more familiar tunes, a/b test a bit, and see if I can describe the changes better. Here is my digital chain:
I'm curious what some of you think would be the next upgrade: switch, streamer, streamer/DAC single box solution, DAC only (keep the Node). |
@maxwave Sorry: no, I don’t. Suggest you get in touch with the guys at Uptone directly. They are very responsive. |
