ifi LAN iSilencer

I discovered this Ethernet signal purifier for network audio streamers, just by chance, while surfing the internet.  I have an extremely highly resolving hifi system.  After reading all the positive customer comments and reviews, I said to myself, what the heck, only 89 bucks, let's go for it.  After receiving the ifi, as recommended, I plugged it into my audio switch, then plugged one end of the ethernet cable into it, and plugged the other end of that ethernet cable into my DAC/Streamer.  Now, I already have a variety of audio tweaks throughout my system, including my speakers.  But when I added the ifi, the background got even deeper, darker and blacker.  It was absolutely amazing!!!  This little gizmo worked exactly as advertised!!!  Highly recommended.

I need to add; the iFi website does say the case is shielded. I need to ask them if it meets CAT7 specs.

Augwest, I am not sure what is in the devise. iFi normally uses cancellation for noise reduction. I have a DC "Silencer" from iFi, and it does make a small improvement to my Motorola Modem. It does run rather warm.

I saw one picture of the iFi LAN Silencer opened. The case looks to be plastic with no metal shielding, so it may not meet CAT 7 specs.

SOtM makes a CAT 6 and a newer CAT 7 isolator. The CAT 7 has the extra shielding and some minor improvements over the earlier CAT 6 unit. They are both more expensive compared to the iFi Silencer, and require an extra cable because they don't plug in.
