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.

Last night I did purchase the small green computer fmc package now I'm thinking of canceling the sale and going ahead with Jcat card and diy  lps modules, I think this is key to optimize usb. Any good streamer has its usb separate 

USB optimization should make a very nice difference.
As to FMC kit…if you’re planning on converting copper to fiber optic then back to copper, I wouldn’t bother. Just my opinion though.

I canceled the order for the fmc with Andrew Gillis at SGC. Haven't heard back from him, he's not gonna be happy. Impulse buy on my part was a mistake!
