A Confused streaming system - Mutec / SOtM Ultra

[baconbrain]

Could you explain the idea of a „leakage loop“ and how that could apply to your current setup?

Where did you see the phrase "leakage loop"? It's not anywhere on this page in @Confused's comments and it doesn't appear on Uptone Audio's page for the EtherRegen which instead makes reference to "blockage of all external leakage currents".

I can't recall seeing the phrase "leakage loop" anywhere in relation to the EtherRegen.

The term leakage loop is not specific to the EtherRegen, and I think Mr Bacon may have mentioned this because although I did not use the specific term, it was in fact what I was describing in terms of my SOtM clock board being both before the EtherRegen (clock signal to SOtM switch) and after the Ether Regen (it is in my sMS200Ultra "end point"), hence possibly creating a leakage loop.

Some links to posts from John Swenson might help, the first one explains my situation far better than I could, the rest are for reference:

EDIT.  I notice that the first link is a response to a question from this forums very own, and very knowledgeable, @octaviars

Perfect, that explains it. Thanks for providing the references and Happy Holidays!
