Which Ethernet filter?


Hello all,

My new Innuos streamer system is coming along nicely, and I've been startled how my A-B comparison of USB cables affected the overall SQ  - I settled on the FTA Sinope.  I'm now looking at enhancing the ethernet feed to the Innuos.

Presently, I have the SotM ISO-CAT7 (limited Red edition with dCBL-CAT7u cable to DAC), and noticed a lift in detail once installed.

I'm very interested in the Network Acoustics ethernet options.  Has anyone compared either the Eno or Muon systems to the either the IS0-CAT6 or ISO-CAT7?

Many thanks,
Mark

@wsrrsw , thanks for that.  I'd really love to try both of Uptone's ethernet and USB regenerators.  Could be a while though, I guess.

I managed to find two old-ish TP-Link MC200CMs with cable and power supplies for £11 on eBay, and I think it might be the best SQ improvement I've ever made (even better than the speakers' Gaias).  The bass definition, dynamics and transparency have all gone up a level.

At the moment I have a 30cm Sotm dCBL-CAT7u ethernet into the Zenith.  I'll play around with different ethernet cables, and maybe reintroduce the Sotm ISOCAT7.  I've also got an Ifi iPower X on order for the 2nd MC200CM.

But wow!  Exciting times.  I can't see myself not trying a Sonore opticalModule when it becomes available again.
