Go ahead ifi, launch this on April 1st, I dare you

At one point of this hobby, I did a lot of investment into linear power supply, cables and connections including "cleaner" ethernet connection. The difference is very small and usually I don't know if it's real or not. Ifi makes these cheap small gadgets, so the investment is low to play around. If you never tried, it may be fun to dip your toe in. This is much cheaper than Sonore's OpticalRendu. https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/products/opticalrendu

My point exactly. Also, Ethernet jitter and clocking is irrelevant. The only thing that might make a difference, and I have heard a difference with my Chord Dave, is galvanic isolation. That's really all that I'm looking for. Would be nice to see some tests for that as well.

if I buy 10 of this and plug them one into another to make a chain, will this bring me audio paradise?

Maybe one day we will get more extensive measurements in line with what our ear perceived as higher quality and pleasurable

You mean measuring device with human like imagination?

There’s more to it than just the jitter we measure directly impacting sound quality - low jitter dac can sound like crap, reclocking with a decrapifier can add more jitter even but it can make it sound cleaner and better - how so? Our measurements don’t tell the whole picture, quite limited. Maybe one day we will get more extensive measurements in line with what our ear perceived as higher quality and pleasurable

Your ears and brains are all the measurement devices you will ever need in this hobby.

Either you like it or you don't. And sometimes you're just tired.

How about latency, will I hear footsteps slightly ahead of the rest while gaming?

Plugs in a LAN decrapifier next to a noisy wall wart

Interesting. And why not just build it into their streaming device? It looks kind of ugly from outside, not to mention the strain on the port.

Is it compatible with the Apple polishing cloth?

Isn't Ethernet galvanically isolated from the rest of the circuit? According to specs it should be.

Is it better than Audiophile Rocks?

Exactly. If you’ve reached this point in your journey of trying to isolate noise in your system you are looking in the wrong place

Yes, LAN itself is Transformer coupled.
Galvanic isolation/decraplifier make sense in USB, but I cannot understand what is "LAN noise".

It may not make sense but it sure does make cents.

distrust until proven. Show us your testing data...don't be shy.
