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?

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.

I have the Smoothlan in my system and it definitely improves the sound. I think you would have to try it and see. Given that both of these are passive devices, I wonder about signal degradation when passing through both of them.
