I suppose you could say I've done a couple of things to enhance my QNAP NAS...
1) Plugged the external power supply into an Isotek EVO3 SIRIUS which is a bi-directional mains filter
2) Connected the NAS to an Entreq Silver Minimus ground box, via an RJ45 ground cable
I have thought about using a linear power supply but just haven't got round to it.
The Entreq was probably the biggest surprise and seemed to have quite a big effect on the sound. Why is a complete mystery but I know of many others that have done the same with similar results.
