Is anybody using an ENO Ethernet filter in their streaming listening chain, and what do you think about it? https://www.the-ear.net/review-hard...ter-ag-eno-streaming-cable-ag-ethernet-filter
I was about to post this but didn't because some people in this thread have the money, like to tinker and able to convince themselves it makes a difference when in reality there is none - now I sound negative but someone has to debunk some of this crap. Rob has designed the TT2 to filter the power and run off the super caps, someone could have a grounding issue but that's easily solved for a lot less than the cost of a power supply and Rob has already indicated that earlier in the thread.Before spending on a power supply try this. While listening remove the dc jack from the back of TT2. You should have 30 seconds running from the super caps. If it sounds better then look at a different supply/battery. If it sounds the same spend your $ on some new headphones.
That's a waste of money, but it's yours not mine. I'm sure you've read the first post in the article? The designer can't even explain how it works. How do you know it won't make things worse?Is anybody using an ENO Ethernet filter in their streaming listening chain, and what do you think about it? https://www.the-ear.net/review-hard...ter-ag-eno-streaming-cable-ag-ethernet-filter
Arnold Schwartz, have you heard of Hans Beekhuyzen? He has a YouTube channel video where he explains why he uses an ENO Ethernet filter in his steaming system. The video is related to his review of the Chord DAVE DAC. The ENO is a passive Ethernet filter that many people believe improves the sound quality of their listening chain when streaming music from the internet.That's a waste of money, but it's yours not mine.

Arnold Schwartz, are you implying that I lack a modicum of some basic common sense that you obviously have, and cannot discern for myself what sounds good to my own ears?I have heard of Hans, but respectfully I doubt at his age he can hear up to 16kHz - age will do that to all of us, that’s why when performance matters some careers force early retirement.
Reviewers should post hearing tests and be transparent about their physical capabilities; at least with professional athletes we can quantify this based on their stats. Needless to say, he’s on my ignore list. Might sound harsh but anyone with an opinion can start a YouTube channel or review a product which says nothing about their attributes - people should be more careful about these things into account before taking someone’s opinion - use common sense.
Arnold did you take the time to clic the link to the review that posted about he ENO Ethernet filter? I only posited my query because I’m always looking to remove any RFI and EMI from my listening chain that might unduly color the sound quality of my hp system.If you have a better reason as to why he is worth listening to I am willing to hear it because I don’t know everything and may be wrong
Arnold Schwartz, of course you can’t hear it because what good cabling and connections do is take away unwanted RFI and EMI, which allows for a truer and undistorted listening experience.I don’t believe you or Hans can hear EMI or RFI that might be emanating from an Ethernet cable.
…and that’s exactly what I experienced when I began using a battery to power my M-Scaler. There was additional improvement when I ditched USB for optical.Arnold Schwartz, of course you can’t hear it because what good cabling and connections do is take away unwanted RFI and EMI, which allows for a truer and undistorted listening experience.
Hans is a good guy, taking the time to explain concepts and technologies to perhaps a less clued in audience.I don’t believe you or Hans can hear EMI or RFI that might be emanating from an Ethernet cable.
