Tales and observations of LAN filter burn-in

[SoundMann]

Apologies if covered elsewhere but what does your post-computer playback chain look like, from computer up to the Philips Little Giant DAC?

I am using the internet service providers modem and router. It is connected thru a long flat ethernet cable to the filter which is connected directly to an older Lenovo i5 business computer with 8-gigs of ram.

I then have a SilkLine Hifi USB to SPDIF converter that filters and re-times the signal before converting it, and sending it to the DAC.

I am currently using Foobar running on PCLinuxOS thru ALSA.

Thanks @SoundMann. So your streamer is your Lenovo+Silkline.

I worry that these might be reintroducing noise of their own after the iSilencer has done its job but am no expert in either Lenovos or the SilkLine so can't advise further.
