Questions about Ethernet Cabling
Hopeless case! Best ignored  
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
Interesting you raise the Phoenix Net: it is actually InnuOS’ admission, that re-clocking the Ethernet is important and: yes, you are right: by the time youget all the boxes, you might as well... The reason that I didn’t is that my clock also re-c... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
As mentiomed above my experience points to clocking being more important than the power supply.  
RCA interconnect recommendation
Two suggestions: 1. on the Zodiac use the Schroeder method with double RCA cables. I run mine on Sommercable Epilogue which is reasonably priced but phantastic. 2. on the phono link it all depends on the tonearm cable you are using. My best expe... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@ddafoe if @arafic can replace the 100ft cat6 with fiber, I wholeheartedly agree with your suggestion. Just converting the last 6ft makes limited sense, though. In any case, any high quality reclocking of the Ethernet connection in my experience... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@Arafic From personal experience I can assure you that the Etherregen doesn’t suffer from any of the ailments you mention. I run mine after DXE and EMO filters using a highly buffered LPS and (Zerozone 2020) and Antelope 10m clock. The improvemen... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
From your description I would recommend the following: get an Uptone Etherregen after the ENO filter, ideally driven by a quality LPS. Connect via the shortest possible Cat6 quality cable to the Zenith. The moat of the Etherregen will deal with an... 
Tube Line Stage around $5k
In that case your myopia prevents you from looking at Nagra, Wavac, Kondo and Audionote  
Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock
The Etherregen is as close to the Zenith as possible and connected with a 25cm Meicord cat6. The Dac feeds a Wavac EC300b driving Duevel Bella Lunas via Auditorium23,speaker cables. Connection between Dac and server is via Intona Reference and Iso... 
Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock
I run my Antelope Audio 10M Rubidium clock into the Etheregen into my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 into Antelope Audio Platinum DAC. Prior to buying the expensive Antelope clock I tried a $100 Chinese Ocxo clock which already provided a significant improveme... 
Antelope Zodiac DAC non DSD or DSD
As you think bout further improvements: a better power supply than the wallwart makes a big difference. I had a Voltikus on both Gold and Platinum and now run off a Sean Jacobs DC 3/4. There are also good Chinese PSUs around $100-150 that will mak...

Congratulations and enjoy the music 
Cable Management Tips and Tricks
Great thread, lots of useful info here. Whenever I have cables crossing, and sometimes it can’t be avoided, inserting a piece of EFI/RFI cancelling material can be quite useful, too. Especially in the digital domain it’s preferable to use short ca... 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
….’maybe, maybe not anyway the best way to determine what’s best for you is to actually listen to said components in your own system of course.’Amen to that: the Zenith is quite sensitive to tweaking the USB link to the DAC: using an Intona Isolat... 
Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
If your clients are blown away I suppose they must be hard to find. Wisdom is knowing when to be quiet.
