PYP Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 1. Has anyone tried an LPS 1.2 with the eR? Improved SQ? 2. How about experiments with the brand of ethernet cable going into the A side of the eR? Make a difference or not? If not, any suggestions for flexible ethernet patch cables? The usual stuff make routing behind a crowded rack difficult. Thanks.

PYP Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Can't remember who suggested trying grounding the eR, but thank you. Doesn't make any sense to me that this would work, but it works. Someone else suggested the easily-managed flat ethernet cables and tried one on the A side of the eR. Sounds fine and takes stress off the connection, which I prefer.

That is for sure, but you are providing a public service doing all this testing. I just can't make myself do too much of this experimenting any more. Grounding the darn thing was enough. It is so crowded behind my rack and I have to keep my head down to clear the bottom of the diffuser (on the wall behind the rack), which will leave its mark on your head if you mess with it. 😖 Since we are talking brands, before the eR, I found that a Purist Audio Design Cat7 cable made a nice difference, which really surprised me given bits = bits. On the other hand, the Blue Jeans certified 6a, didn't sound right. Currently, I have a monoprice 6a to the A side and the Purist Audio Design on the B side. Sounding very nice. ray-dude 1 Grimm Audio MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui > Mola Mola Kaluga > B&W 803 D3 Cables: Kubala-Sosna Power management: Shunyata Room: Vicoustics “Nature is pleased with simplicity.” Isaac Newton "As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man...they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed."

That's assuming you can get your hands on both for trial. I'm betting the less expensive one from Shunyata will surprise. Something like the Purist Audio Design Cat 7, which I purchased long before getting the eR to connect the in-wall ethernet to the DAC, is priced between the no-name stuff and the $1K stuff. It was a nice upgrade at the time. Of course, nothing compared to adding the eR. The PAD Cat7 now resides between the B side of the eR and the DAC. Just another option...

Of course, the variables of our systems are all different and cannot be predicted, it seems. Personally, I like remaining skeptical until my ears are happy (or not).

As others have found, it seems a new ethernet cable needs to break in too. That makes no sense to me, but that is what I experienced too. It seems that ethernet isn't just bits = bits because stuff other than data takes a ride on the same line.

PYP Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Ok. But I think you are killing the suspense that every eR owner now has about the ECTs. But I'm glad you asked because it is a long story and that is also fitting for the season. So... The ECTs were used INSIDE my previous DAC (DirectStream). For that experiment, I kept the cover off and added the ECTs one at a time and moved them around. Ending up using all five, mostly on chips. The effect was subtle, but good. Perhaps placebo effect, but I still don't understand SR's explanation, and if I did, I probably wouldn't believe it. My working theory is that in that application, mounted by some grey-tack (provided), they worked against resonance of the chips themselves. OK, it is snake oil, but it never inflamed my guts, so "no gain, no pain" to those who love to measure. 😝 At any rate, once I had all the Mola Mola gear in place, I put the tweaks back into a box. You just plop the MM down, connect and enjoy. Well, no longer being the patient audiophile (is there such a thing?) I was in my younger years, I put all the tweaks on eR nearly at the same time. First, a Herbie's tube damper below to increase air flow and a Aurios bearing footer on top (never liked them under equipment) just to see what would happen (it does act as a bit of a heatsink and adds weight). After a few hours, there seemed to be a subtle difference. Then added a Bybee acrylic QSE beneath the SMPS. Next day, I didn't notice anything much, so added the ECTs. An hour or two later, I was in another room and a Roon radio selection played which actually startled me. It was as though I was listening to the highest resolution recording I've ever experienced. But, as we know, sometimes this effect can be too much and is actually boosting frequencies. Over time, this can grow tiresome if it isn't truly natural/balanced/neutral. Therefore I don't have an answer yet. Will leave it all as is for a week and see how it progresses. More later... soares 1 Grimm Audio MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui > Mola Mola Kaluga > B&W 803 D3 Cables: Kubala-Sosna Power management: Shunyata Room: Vicoustics “Nature is pleased with simplicity.” Isaac Newton "As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man...they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed."

Unbelievable! I post a review towards the end of this thread. Some of us have commented that our spouse/significant other, who doesn't care about equipment and would rather we not spend $$ on new stuff, have heard an improvement. How would the more vitriolic voices on that thread explain that? I understand the skepticism (and welcome it), but a pre-judgement that something cannot work just doesn't make sense to me. It is true I don't understand the mechanics of copper ethernet, and so want to ask those who do: What is the purpose of the additional shielding for the newer cables (cat 8, for example) that carry more data? Put another way: If it is all just bits, why the additional shielding?

Thank you. What I was trying to ask is what "noise" gets transmitted over copper ethernet, thus the question about shielding. @Superdad got to the root of my intended question: "We are all aware that there are some people--on other forums and even here on Audiophile Style--who are stuck thinking about Ethernet (and USB for that matter) as existing only as data packets of ones and zeros (which in itself is just a construct since the signals are a train of timed, variable voltages). The are not considering the issues of either moving clock-thresholds caused by ground-plane noise (itself caused by deterministic jitter) or the effects of common-mode leakage currents."

Popular Post PYP Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’ve been comparing the eR powered by its SMPS and powered by the JS-2 LPS. Now that the JS-2 is settled in (received it in early February ), the comparison is very evident in my system. As others have reported, with the JS-2 increases the improvements already brought by the eR with its SMPS. In my system, the SMPS sounded great in the evening, but wasn’t consistent the rest of the time. To me, that meant the problem was power-related (perhaps the issue was taming the junk coming into the house via the power lines). When the eR wasn’t at its best, the highs were not as good as without the eR. Since it was easy to hear the eR’s potential in the evening, and I wasn’t willing to lose those improvements, I looked at UpTone's other gear for a solution. For me, the JS-2 -- which is a solid, beautiful piece of gear – solved the issues. But it did more than solve the issues: the SQ is now better than the eR at its best (in the evening) with the SMPS. While the improvements are across the board, the improvement to female singers has really caught my attention lately (perhaps because my speakers, to my taste, excel with voices). Today I was listening to one of my favorite albums by Eliane Elias and the most nuanced changes in her voice were evident. For the first time, I could hear when she changed her inflection to follow the music as it got funkier. And at one point, I could “hear” her smile (perhaps at the lyric?) and I was transported to the studio. We all have had that experience because we have all spent countless hours (years/decades) researching, obsessing (don’t forget the obsessing), listening, buying gear, selling gear, buying more gear and tweaking our system. That moment of transcendence makes it all worth it. Beyond the great, cost-effective solutions that UpTone offers, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Alex for his first-class customer service. Truly exceptional. Lastly, thank you @skatbelt for reporting that the JS-2 improved SQ and that it could be a worthwhile investment. The JS-2, of course, has two rails, so I’ll experiment with an opticalModule when I receive it from Sonore. skatbelt and Superdad 1 1 Grimm Audio MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui > Mola Mola Kaluga > B&W 803 D3 Cables: Kubala-Sosna Power management: Shunyata Room: Vicoustics “Nature is pleased with simplicity.” Isaac Newton "As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man...they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed."

Popular Post PYP Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 Added an opticalModule about one week ago. The path is now: Copper ethernet > oM > fiber > eR > copper ethernet > DAC (Roon endpoint). A JS-2 powers both the oM and eR (7v and 12v respectively). As Rajiv mentioned in his excellent review of the eR, the oM adds density. He heard a smaller soundstage, but I hear the opposite in mine. The oM seems to get the last bit of all that is good about the eR. Others had mentioned that the upstream still matters and that is verified in my system. Unlike Rajiv's optimized system, the upstream in my system isn't: ISP-provided modem/router/wifi > in-wall cat 5e > then to the setup shown above. @soares had mentioned that the oM increased SQ in his system. Thanks, Jorge, for the recommendation. You have spent my money well! Probably going to stop now (insert photo of wife's knowing look here), until UpTone sells a reasonably priced external clock in a JS-2 case so that I can have matching gear (I know, not going to happen). audiotunesx, kennyb123, soares and 1 other 2 1 1 Grimm Audio MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui > Mola Mola Kaluga > B&W 803 D3 Cables: Kubala-Sosna Power management: Shunyata Room: Vicoustics “Nature is pleased with simplicity.” Isaac Newton "As neither the enjoyment nor the capacity of producing musical notes are faculties of the least use to man...they must be ranked among the most mysterious with which he is endowed."
