After advice from Guillaume, I’ve just put the Etalon Ethernet Isolator between my switch and Devialet. I am impressed! Improvements in sound quality were obvious as soon as I started listening.
My soundstage has grown in all dimensions, with front to back being most affected.
Vocals pop out, with a chasm behind them that makes my back wall disappear. Bass lines are easier to follow, while the top end seems smoother an any sibilance has been tamed, without affecting definition or clarity. Dynamics have taken a step up too, as has air and space around different instruments.
Overall, this is undoubtedly the best value tweak that I have made to my system for years.
There are plenty of reviews and opinions on this little box of tricks online. Most of them seem to be in French, so using Google Translate is a good way to go.
