I connected it between switch and d1 server (which feeds Devialet master via AES).
Quite a big improvement across the board. Everything just seems to sharpen up image-wise, bass seems punchier and it's easier to follow individual instruments in complex pieces. It's not a subtle change in my system. Rufus was here and we were both in agreement as to what we were hearing. I think we were both surprised by quite how effective this LAN isolator was.
I originally got this isolator since I thought it might close the gap between Roon/AIR and Roon/totaldac so my next test is between switch and Devialet master.
So far I am very impressed.

how does the Etalon do on the RoonAIR stream? Do you own the Totaldac ethernet filter?
It also improves Roon/AIR but compared to the d1 server I seem to lose something.
Yes I have the Totaldac ethernet cable.
