Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!

Well miracles do happen…the SmoothLAN arrived after my post…Yeah! Well, right out of the box this was an “Oh My” moment. Everything improved on my modest system. The deep piano and guitar strings it’s as if you can feel the resonance and vibration. Separation of instruments clearer, improved 3D depth and bass just to mention the main takeaway. This is another winner recommended by @ozzy 👍👍. Thanks. Well worth the wait!

My hookup is Mesh Router-ethernet cable-FMC-optical cable-FMC-ethernet cable-smoothLAN-SmoothLAN ethernet cable- Bricasti Network Streamer. Etheregan with ext. clock due on Monday to replace second FMC in the chain.

tksteingraber,

Congratulations! You never know about delivery these days. Give it a couple of days to break in. I think it improves further.

Having tried so many filters over the years I think it's worth mentioning the evolution is exciting to see. The ENO was actually the very first generation and some kind of pioneer braking the barrier for further generations. iFi, SN and many more have tried to come up with their approaches. So a lot has happened over the years and the new ENO2 including many findings that went into the Muon Pro will be quite a game changer from what I heard. So for those deciding about where to go next think that should be on the list to try.

And if someone is looking for an EtherRegen, also with a Farad Super3, Level 2 DC cable with Furutech and SR Purple upgrades - I got one for sale :)

@jmfinney, I know it’s a unfair comparison, but as you’re the only person I’ve seen so far who’s used both a full Muon Pro chain and a SmoothLAN, I’d like to understand where and to what degree the Muon surpasses the SmoothLAN.

Tony,

I’ll PM you
