I can only post extensive information so many times but I have explained basically where some of this comes from and what I have found works to eliminate it. you can search and find a lot of it but fundamentally you need to terminate the digital signal, provide isolation, and clean power. this is not about the digital signal this is about blocking power supply and ground noise
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
Curiosity got the better of me recently and I tried a pretty cheap tweak where I used two Fiber Optic converters between the eero access point and my Lumin U1 Mini streamer. Converted from copper Ethernet to fiber optic then back to copper and then into streamer using my Supra Cat8.
I was pleasantly surprised with the improvements this change had brought into my system and now I am wondering if I can do better. One other aspect of the current configuration that I don’t like is the clutter - each unit comes with it’s own power supply and add to that a fiber optic cable. I already have a spider web of wires and am not looking to add to that.
Objective is to have as much noise, RFI and EMI removed before it reaches the streamer.
Seeking opinions on the following units from those who had tried them in their systems:
- English Electric Network Switch 8 (Silent Angel is pretty much the same thing)
- Uptone EtherREGEN (currently out of stock)
- Network Acoustics Eno (box or streaming system)
What is your experience with these units?
Anything else to add to the above list?
Thanks in advance!
