I purchased a smoothLAN and I've tried it both upstream and downstream of an Etheregen and I'm not sure I can hear any difference, thinking of sending it back. Haven't tried it without the Etheregen, has anyone replaced their ER using just the SoothLAN?
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I just received this item that I purchased from Stack Audio after being impressed with the AUVA 100 Speaker footers.
For any of the Audio Streamers out there, my initial comment as to this item: The SmoothLAN Network Filter is WOW!
From first plug in, the soundstage deepened and widened immensely. How the heck this occurs is nothing short of amazing. I have tried many of the major brand ethernet filters, and some of them, maybe, did something. But not enough to keep them. I either sent them back or sold them. I did however keep an iFi Silencer unit.
My digital streaming consists of an EtherRegen sending out the signal via Fiber to my Lumin X1. I have the Stack Audio device going into the EtherRegen from the Modem.
And, since I have my Apple TV coming out of the EtherRegen it will be interesting to see if the Video improves.
Check out the review in EAR.

@tkrtrb125 No I'm not using fiber. I also don't have 300 hours on the SL. Is that what we need, 300 hours seems like a lot of time. I might have 6! |
@audphile1 I'm just assuming I have some noise on the network! I'm sure my streaming isn't optimized. For one thing I have a diy streamer and I'm gonna get a Jcat usb card. |
@audphile1 Your not a fan of the fiber conversion? I understand with all the boxes and that's kept me out of it too! |
