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
Enjoy the music

The elimination of RFI from the Ethernet input of my Bricasti M5 streamer in my system has transformed it to the point that I’ve now sold my £4K turntable and will now press on with selling my vinyl. In my system, streaming wins hands down.

Industry disclosure: I'm a Network Acoustics designer.

@Chorus, our experience shows the ER benefits a lot from an Ethernet filter on the output.

The EMO EN70-HD isn’t an Ethernet filter, just an isolation transformer, of which the router and streamer already has built-in as standard. The ENO Filter from Network Acoustics is a proper filter.
