So, I just disconnected the iFi Silencer. I will still be experimenting, but at this moment, I am on the side that it seems the iFi Silencer created a little more congestion in the soundstage.

I discovered this Ethernet signal purifier for network audio streamers, just by chance, while surfing the internet. I have an extremely highly resolving hifi system. After reading all the positive customer comments and reviews, I said to myself, what the heck, only 89 bucks, let's go for it. After receiving the ifi, as recommended, I plugged it into my audio switch, then plugged one end of the ethernet cable into it, and plugged the other end of that ethernet cable into my DAC/Streamer. Now, I already have a variety of audio tweaks throughout my system, including my speakers. But when I added the ifi, the background got even deeper, darker and blacker. It was absolutely amazing!!! This little gizmo worked exactly as advertised!!! Highly recommended.
I'm using Ethernet filtration and Galvanic Isolators. One in case of shock/surge/lighting and the other to filter ethernet noise. Big sonic difference when just an old blue cat five cable is compared. I'm using two EverStar MI-300's on each system and for ethernet filtration a Telegartner M12 Gold on one system and a Network Acoustics Muon on another systems. Switches and cables are audio grade too. |
Here’s a positive live testimonial. . https://youtu.be/RR7KJY5qpZc?si=dLNq_7f0l3Epe43R The more resolution your system provides (ergo….high-end in lockstep with price …), the “better” it works . TAKEAWAY: NOTE: there are other options out there operating in the same filtering principles. This is not going to provide a Jesus or A-Hah moment on its own, , but at its puny price as part of an overall cradle-to-grave approach, it helps.
