Tales and observations of LAN filter burn-in

I have been debating over which direction I should go, and with my ever dwindling funds, keeping my analog rig (and records) 100% working is becoming quite a challenge.

I would like to think that the SmoothLan is the right filter for my system, but I don't have the excess funds to throw at it at this point.

As I stated before, I don't have a streamer. My system consists of the modem/router of my internet provider, my computer, a SilkLine Hifi USB to SPDIF converter which filters and re-times the signal, and my Philips Little Giant NOS 16-bit DAC + triple filter linear power supply.
As @audiobomber said look at moving the lan filter in your chain. Are you using WiFi?
