Pimping your router

1. Use a wired router only
2. If wireless router is needed, separate router for wifi
3. only streamer, NOTHING ELSE connected 
4. use LPS to feed router
5. use shortest possible quality cable to streamer
6. use Acoustic Revive RLT-1 filter on spare router or streamer port
7. wrap router and LPS in EMI/RFI shielding material
8. use EMO EN70-HD filter near streamer for ethernet connection
9. use quality shielded cable between router and internet access point

All of these will individually improve your streaming SQ, in aggregate the effect is significant

And you liked the ENO better than the EtherREGEN if I remember right?

Did you try the ENO with the ER? Reason for asking is that I have my ER with an SR4T powering it near my router, which is in a different room 20' from my system. Just wondering if adding the ENO may provide another significant SQ benefit.

BTW, I did try the ER next to my streamer, but it sounds about the same whether 20' away or in the same room, and maybe just a little better 20' away.

Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with someone else that had both the ER and the ENO.

Yes, sort of. I run a 20' section of Cat 5e under my house from router to wall jack in my listening room. Then Supra 8+ to streamer. Also Supra 8+ from wall jack to router. My ER is in the room where the router is and so goes across the 20' of Cat 5e.

I do like the fact the ENO needs no power supply.

Yes, you have it right. ER = EtherREGEN by Uptone Audio. Excellent product.

Weird, it shows up on a different part of your screen. Glad you found it.

If you want an EtherREGEN, I've read they only have parts to make a few hundred more. So you might want to look into that. I have an ER + LPS and love it. But you should also check into the ENO filter, does not require power, and several posters here on the Agon seem to think it is better than the ER. You should do some research and make decision. Good luck!
