Matrix Audio SI-1 Audio Grade Network Isolator

worked better than expected

I used the si-1 with a pc with roon connected to a cisco switch. The si-1 sat between the switch and Bricasti m3 dac. The overall is that the sound stage opened up with more of a3 dimensionality and a blacker background. Couldn't have ask for anything more!

Moon audio shipped out the product fast and packaging was sturdy and in good shape. The SI-1 is working with my Lumin D1 (old but stalwart) and has cleaned up the sound, lowered the noise floor (I have Avantgarde Duos so the high effeciency speakers reveal any ground or noise issues very clearly) and helped with drop out issues I suffered from Roon. Previously the signal had to travel 20ft plus from NAS to switch to 20ft plus to Lumin. The long runs of basic Cat7 probably caused some issues and the isolation/reclocking of the SI-1 fixes that up and offers a clean data path in a short run to the Lumin streamer DAC. It has been a great purchase.
