Network Switches

@sns good post.
CD rips on SSD mounted inside my streamer (AAIF, FLAC) is what I use for comparison as well but once again we’re potentially comparing 🍏 and 🍊 as we just don’t know if we’re streaming the same master from Tidal and Qobuz. In most cases streaming in my system equals to or beats CD rips. Streaming also far exceeds the sound quality of my CD playback using the same DAC but that’s not a fair comparison as my streaming setup is approximately 10x the cost. I just enjoy popping a cd in once in a while. 

“Network Acoustics products found them to compress dynamics in his system”

@rivinyl 

That was not the case in my system when I tried ENO…it was a definite improvement vs not using any filters. The key here is to try..ENO is now on 2nd generation..ENO2. I don’t think @audphile1 tried their ENO2 (I could be mistaken in assuming that)!  

@lalitk you are correct I only tried the original Eno streaming system.

@audphile1 @lalitk @sns it is all system dependent. 

I just sold my Eno V1 streaming system, I prefer just a better RJ 45 to Aurender N200. I discovered this by removing the Eno filter and just used the Eno RJ45. I liked it. So I have a Revelation Audio Lab RJ 45 on the way. I have his DC cable and I2s cable already.
