I tried fiber optic converters and didn’t like the sound with Bricasti M3. Going copper without switches and converters to me sounds best.
I use EERO mesh network and a short run of good Ethernet cable (1m Purist Audio) from EERO node to streamer.

@testrun good decision. I would also recommend trying a passive filter like the iFi LAN iSilencer between your Ethernet cable and streamer. Depending on the Ethernet implementation in your components and the length of the Ethernet cable, it is possible to get an improvement. If you buy from Amazon and it doesn’t make any difference, return it. |
@hollandw I’m curious about the iFi pro. Will probably give it a shot. My streamer only accepts Ethernet As to Ethernet cables, I periodically replace my Purist Audio CAT7 with Linkup with same result every time. I guess I’m still hoping to not hear the difference but the Linkup, which is a nice cable, doesn’t hold a candle to Purist.

@chipcalzone definitely on my list. With music direct return policy it’s low risk. And I’m glad to hear there’s a way to kill those LEDs. |
