Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer

Audioman58 - thank you for your post. I have been streaming my music for over 8 years and I am amazed at the quality level I have already achieved in my two major stereo systems in my home.  I stumbled on a major audio upgrade by converting my incoming signal from Spectrum internet (average speed 200 Megbits per second over copper to my router) to fiber optics into anew router -  (at 550 Megbits per second ) . The audio quality improvement shocked me. More separation, lower noise floor, better soundstage, cleaner horns, etc. I feed my streamer/ dac via Ethernet cable. I just ordered the Smoothlan network filter and will insert it into my main stereo system in front of my LUMIN T2. I simplified my streamer/DAC journey by going with LUMIN - I run a T2 in my main system. I will happily report back as to if I hear improvements inthis system. Please note my LUMIN T 2 feeds my Krell 300i integrated amp which feed my Peter Gunned Maggie 1.6 customer speakers, with The Swarm sub woofers handling the bottom end. I think my system will be able to resolve any improvements that come from a better/cleaner incoming signal.

Audioman58 - I just got my Stack Audio SmoothLAN network filter three days ago. My LUMIN T2 has NEVER sounded better. The floor is lower, the blackness is deeper, the high end is cleaner and more crisp.

i feel the Peter Gunned Maggie’s now SING unrestricted in my current system set up. This is the least amount of money I have ever spent for this level of sonic improvement.

Thank you for alerting me to this improvement. I will be buying a second unit to clean up my signal to my second system in my Mancave! 
 

Happy Listening to everyone in 2025!! Come by for a listen - just call first!
