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

Yep, connectors are entrance ways for RFI, another reason I prefer optical.

So it’s my understanding that an ENO… is or provides galvanic isolation so why would you need both? Seems redundant.

@brenn I assume you mean multiple filters or filters and optical. There are a minimum of two points where multiple devices wouldn't be redundant. This would be pre server and post server, these devices will block noise going into server, post server device block noise produced by server from getting into dac.

 

Some believe daisy chaining these devices is effective as well. I've found daisy chaining two usb rendering devices is effective in my setup. For example at present  I'm using Sonore Opticalrendu followed by Uptone USBregen.

Thanks for the response but forgot to mention I have. Lumin d1 that is a streamer/DAC combo.
