Fiber or Eithenet

Fiber moats drop the noise floor, but some reported takes the “life” away from the music. 

If your streamer/dac can accept fiber directly (as my Lumin X1 does) it was a BIG improvement!

@hollandw I’m curious about the iFi pro. Will probably give it a shot. My streamer only accepts Ethernet  

As to Ethernet cables, I periodically replace my Purist Audio CAT7 with Linkup with same result every time. I guess I’m still hoping to not hear the difference but the Linkup, which is a nice cable, doesn’t hold a candle to Purist. 

@audphile1 I say go for it, I was really surprised at how things improved in my system. There's a toggle button at the back of the Lan Pro which turns off the tacky lights which I can't stand. Also, you'll be needing a separate iFi Power Supply, I'm using my Lan Pro with an iFi Ipower X. The stock one is no good.

@chipcalzone definitely on my list. With music direct return policy it’s low risk. And I’m glad to hear there’s a way to kill those LEDs.
