I'm not sure if anyone here has tested both at the same time? 3 seems to be the most logical I guess. Ultimately they are both setting out to do the same thing - galvanically isolate the end device from the router's noise. The benefit to the iSilencer (in theory) is that its a passive device...

I need to finish typing the silencer review but in the meantime I went and ordered a new LPS and Linksys router and 12v switch :sweat_smile: I also did a little experiment with a fully powered switch I had in the garage and think it was maybe better (but too impractical to use so I didnt spend...

sorry bad timing, completely missed those posts I'm still on 317 because I had to roll back to it a while back, 329 caused me issues

hm? 2022 firmware, no new updates? I guess I dont have to click off the notification anymore, just surprised the last version is gone (for me)

I know this isn't supported (but would fall under "Setup Tricks" ;) ), but since Zen OS is (a fork of?) Volumio, would it be possible to install Headless Plexamp on the Zen? https://www.reddit.com/r/plexamp/comments/1be4tbr/installing_plexamp_headless_inside_volumio/

Shame the Zen stream doesn't have plans to support Plex, I just got into PlexAmp as a Roon alternative and it would've been great to use the ZS This got me on a tangent and ended up trying out DLNA for the firs time off my Plex Server and....I noticed a lot of audible noise when tracks are...

I had half the review done and the rest in point form notes but then last week I tripped on covid and, while mostly better now, my hearing is all f'd up now (probably because sinuses) so whatever I end up writing will have to based on my earlier impressions.

step up voltage idea was a bust, could dial it in perfect but not enough amps with 5v outputs. Oddly, it worked on a 5v/3a SMPS, but in the end just gonna settle with the iPower 15v/1.2a. Still wonder what a power supply that's the correct voltage and amps would sound like...? ...Think I've got...

voltage cable coming saturday, I think it's got a variable control so i should be able to confirm it's putting out a proper 12 volts. If not, I guess the ~17v iPower into the 12v router will be the option for now No idea what other routers would be worth auditioning, need wireless bridge mode...

you haven't seen these drunken ramblings I call 'notes' :laughing: Tried out the USB voltage step up for the 12v router off the 5v Topping P50, works like a charm so far bad: the TP-Link router doesn't support range extender / bridge mode to act as a wifi receiver (weird), and it didnt include...

itll be 4 routers, 2 switches, and the silencer :sweat: will have to trim these notes down significantly

OOOOOKAY, Linksys/iPower into the switch-silencer kicks ass, old EQ profile again, everything sweet. 🤌 (maybe too punchy) Ordered a WiFi 6 / Wireless AX tri-core TP-Link off Amazon warehouse deals, gonna see tomorrow if it's any better than the 2016 Linksys, both with the LPS if that works out.

Even going to a full size router, I'm gonna need a new dedicated rack....I've knocked the ZS onto the floor twice so far futzing with cables :tired_face:

WiFi. It's a WiFi setup! I'm just not sure FMC is going to do here big picture, I'm not trying to avoid theoretical pollution on a long network run, this is contained to a small rack and the iSilencer was my last line of defense doing the isolation. So far I'd say the router model has made...

Credit to the networking enthusiasts, I didn't expect going into this that WIFI vs LAN would sound so objectively different, but here I am. Sadly it still puts me in a situation where while clarity improves, bass (and soundstage) is lost and I can't blame the iSilencer for that - it improves...
