Network Switches

Hope you didn't fall for this foolery....no breakthrough here from Cen gra d

It's why I asked. By the way, is your product selling like hotcakes?

All the best,

@lalitk yep you and I discussed this in the past. It makes sense although these lower priced devices won’t compete with your telegartner. I have my eye on the iFi LAN ipurifier pro which is similar to effe in what it does (I gather based on a wuick look). Just can’t get around to trying it. Was tangled up in USB cables comparison and upgrade and it eventually rippled into a DAC upgrade 🤦‍♂️

But it’s on my list

Looks like the the iFi LAN ipurifier pro and the effe unit both run the signal through a transmitter, a receiver, and a short length of fiber. This works well, and it is essentially the exact same setup @deep_333 described in one of his posts above, except all components are integrated in a single box, which is more convenient and less unwieldy. It also costs $299 instead of $40ish.

Also, discrete components let you have any length fiber run you need, handy if you keep your Internet gear in a separate room.

I tried the copper to fiber two box solution using a $65 set from amazon. I tested these with 3 different streamers and I did not like the effect. Yes it seems to produce a more silent background but it imparts a certain flavor to the presentation especially obvious in the mids that renders it unnatural. I made several attempts and each time yanked it out and went back to straight copper cable between eero and streamer. Streamers used: Lumin U1 Mini, Bricasti M3 DAC network renderer, Aurender N200.  
I am keeping an open mind and will try the iFi pro purifier when I have an opportunity but I’m not in a hurry to do it. 

As to effe-01….I’d love to try it but trying something shipped from Europe is not very appealing to me as the return shipping is a pain in the 🫏 

You guys can try it and let me know. I’ll be patiently waiting. 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the effe - 01 and how does this fit into the above recommendations
