would innuos mk3 streamer benefit from network filter


I just got an innuos mk3 streamer.  The sound is not as good as my lumin u2 mini or aurender n100.

 

Sound is  a bit harsh to me, could just be my system or hearing, maybe it is more detailed, experienced as harshness.

 

Might it benefit from a network filter?

 

Thanks

Not familiar with a mark3, but have a Pulse which sounded very good out of the box connected to my DAC with an Audioquest Carbon usb and using the supplied mains lead. After a week or two of adjusting to the superb sq I switched the mains lead to an Audioquest NRG z3 mains cable and the sq deteriorated. Quickly switched back to the supplied lead (uk) and sq restored. A mystery as I use  Z3s for my DAC, SACD and Luxman amp with good results.
