@zlone I also have Zenith MK3 with Ph’USB and Ph’Net. Reasonable to assume the PhoenixNet would make the Stack unit superfluous? Also, galvanically isolated between my DAVE and M Scaler.
Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer
This very inexpensive little box connects between you ethernet hub and the streamer it truly works and not expensive, check it out

@cantorgale I bet that sounds really nice, I have thought of trying the Phoenix USB. My guess is that those two offer the isolation that you need. One question, how long is the ethernet between the Phoenix Net and your streamer? A very long run could negate the gains of the fancy switch.

@zlone Really sounds terrific. My cable run is 1m so not long at all. I got the PhNet before the PhUSB because I found a used one. The PhNET seemed to have more of an impact on SQ than adding the PhUSB did, as I recall. But that may just be my system. |
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! |
