Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
The Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System is here! Running it in. I also have installed the D-Link DGS-105 powered by iFi 5v Silent Power SMPS. I ran few tests already configured as follows: 1. eero->switch->Lumin U1 Mini 2. eero->swit... 
Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?
@nyev Magico A5 after your B&Ws is a totally different sound and I expected you would not be a fan and like the Wilsons better (I owned B&Ws and liked their sound a lot and appreciated how engaging they were). One important note about Wil...

@pcrhkr Hahaha…got a good laugh thanks man!  
Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music
There are many good speakers in that price range especially if you go used. What you also have to consider, in my opinion, is whether or not the speakers (whatever it is you set your eyes on) are a good match with your current amplifier and what y... 
Denafrips Athena- is damn good
@gochurchgo no worries. Good thing you just posted and didn’t go on a high end audio shopping spree…  
Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer
Are you sure your integrated is the problem and a new $5k-$6k integrated will solve this issue? I’d be looking at $350 Wharfedale Diamond 225 speakers as candidates for the upgrade, not the integrated…at least not until your speakers are up to it.   
Tube interference from router
Yes I experienced this with eero. Phono stages are especially sensitive to this - they’ll pick up and amplify this garbage and you will hear it thru your speakers. Just run a longer Ethernet cable and move your router away from components and cabl... 
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
+1 @lalitk  @aberyclark what DAC are you using?  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
@robert1976 Rob, I think you’re on the right track - addressing room acoustics is extremely important and without getting that done you’ll be chasing ghosts by swapping your components. I just started paying more attention to it as well and it is ... 
Usb cable recommendation
I liked the DH Labs Mirage in my system. Solid construction and great sound.

Thanks @jmfinney I was wondering about Muon as well. Let us know if you get around to trying the Muon on its own.

Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
I’m on the Uptone Audio email list for the new EtherREGEN whenever it comes out (no date, parts supply shortages). I will be giving Eno a try hopefully in the next few weeks (placed an order). I also ordered a Network switch with upgraded power s... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
@sns @lalitk makes sense with the streaming DAC. Not excluding the possibility that I will give it try at some point. I’m just hearing for the first time now what my system is capable of and apparently I haven’t reached the ceiling yet.

@larry5729 Let’s not derail this conversation please as I feel it is beneficial for a lot of members of this community who stream and have systems/rooms/ears to not need a blind test to hear the difference. Also, power conditioners are not being d...
