I visited the friend who also jumped on Entreq board, who also happens to have a super High End system. He now has his pre (TAD c500) and DAC (Vivaldi) connected to a Silver/Atlantis Tellus system with Atlantis cables. The sound is (was) sublime.
We then connected his new NAS Server ... and sat down to listen.
The sound was really horrible ... the power cable of the NAS "touched" the ground cable going to the DAC. Separating them a few centimeters restored everything to their previous glorious state.
So if you are using/evaluating Entreq, make sure to keep any power cable (and any other metal fixtures as well) away from the ground cables.

If an enclosed power cable touching an enclosed ground cable can move a sound from "sublime" to "really horrible" using ultra expensive gear including TAD and dCS then, in my opinion, there is some terrible engineering in place.
