Ethernet Filters


Simple questions I hope.

  1. Can you run ethernet filters in series?
  2. If so, I suspect there are those that have tried it and to what effect?

Thanks @akg_ca for your response, much appreciated.

I have the ifi iSilencer and am about to try a Track Audio Smoothlan.

Question on network switches, my streamer is plugged into a network extender, so although I would only plug the network switch into the network extender and only have streamer running from the network switch, would there still be a benefit in having a network switch in chain?

Correction to above - network extender to network switch to lan silencer to streamer.

I own most of what has been mentioned. But this is the BEST Ethernet filter that I have ever tried!

@alan60 I recommend you try iFi into network extender then from there use a really nice Ethernet cable into your streamer. I use this iFi gizmo and I can tell you it doesn’t harm anything. In my system it doesn’t improve anything either but it’s cheap enough to keep in the chain. A really good Ethernet cable should yield a bigger improvement than adding a filter to a cheap generic cable. My experience. YMMV.
