Has anyone tried one of these? LAN iSilencer by iFi audio - LAN iSilencer (ifi-audio.com) ozzy

Oh yes. The PS Direct Stream did also. Using fiber eliminates the wire in the equation. To me, the sound change was immediate and a large improvement. There is a calmness to the sound. ozzy

Yes, originally when I had the PS Direct Stream Dac, I used similar converters. They seemed to work well. ozzy

No, sorry. The EtherRegen is essential to my set up because it outputs the fiber to my Lumin X1. There was no way to try the Aardvark after the EtherRegen. If it couldn’t improve at the front end, then I had no need for it. But others should try...

So, after much testing, for me, in my system, with the Ether Regen, I did not hear any benefit with using the Aardvark. As a matter of fact, I thought the bass was diminished. My hat’s off to the seller who allowed me to try it and then grant a re...

What are your exact settings for volume and low pass filter on your SVS sub?
I think you have the right idea but beware of using the published specs to determine how low your main speakers actually go. Try to play a test track with defined frequency levels from Quboz or from wherever and hear how low your speakers will ac...

Weakest link in my system
Just to add a bit of a twist, I have found the Critical Mass footers underneath my components to be a real eye opener. ozzy  
Paypal Friends and Family

How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting?
I use an air bladder bought from Amazon that I pump up (squeeze bulb) to lift a corner, then either remove the spike and put furniture sliders underneath or install the Herbies gliders under the spike. For heavier speakers and alot of moving I wo...

Oh, boy, just received the Aardvark! Came early via Fed Ex. I'll give it a listen today! ozzy

Perhaps, but I have found it to really sound better, much more natural sound. However, my Lumin X1 can receive fiber direct without conversions. So, I have fiber coming out of the Ether Regen to the Lumin, seems to be much better than when I used...

I think, (if these things do work), if you can reduce noise, it should be a sound improvement. Especially, if it is in the front of the chain. ozzy  
Whats playing on your system today?
