Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator


Has anyone tried one of these? Love the name...

I have an Ether Regen which outputs fiber to my Lumin X1.

So, I guess this device would go into the input of the Ether Regen but would its use of fiber out negate the Aardvark advantages? Will I be able to tell if it improves sound quality?

Anyway, I am such a tweaker that I went ahead and ordered one anyway.

Just looking for anyone who may have experience with the device.

I have added the Chord or English Electric EE1 filter in my audio streaming chain. I have the iFI filter coming out of my modem into my network switch, next the EEI is in my listening space connected to my TeraDak 212 that is connected to my SFP Media Converter going into my Zenith. Additional filtering on the noise side has made my streaming experience more detailed, black background and just overall more enjoyable, much closer to my analog. 

Thanks, the English Electric was one that I was thinking of when I read about the Aardvark unit. I wonder how they compare?

I use a Pink Faun Isolator after my Antelope clocked Etherregen directly into the Innus streamer. The effect is very beneficial. I use two DXEngineering filters and an ENO EM-70HD Isolator on the dirty side of the Etherregen, again highly beneficial. The advantage of the Pink Faun is that it diesn’t need a second cable

Wow Thanks for that info! I'll check it out.

The Aardvark comes with a 14-day return (-) shipping costs. And I'm not shy about returning something if it doesn't impress me.

Ok all is intriguing and it will be interesting to hear about the performance.  Would there be any benefit to installing an ethernet noise isolator if you have an optical set-up like mine? Thanks
