Anyone try the Purist digital isolation adapter?


Sounds like a potentially interesting and inexpensive tweak. Anyone own one or try it in their system? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

taking delivery of a PAD Digital adpator in the next couple of days. i am trying to elevate the performance of a Sonos zp90 player in order to use it in my 2 channel system.The Sonos player has incredible functionality and a short session with it allows you to listen to virtually any music out there, but sound quality is average.
So far have done the Underwood hifi mod which is awesome, replaced stock power cord with a Shunyata black mamba power cord that contains the FESI material via a Voodoo C7 iec to C14 2pin adpator, and instead of using it wirelessly i attached a high end Audioquest ethernet cable. Each of these tweaks has improved sound performance that I can easily objectively measure and subjectively recognize via the level of my musical involvement and enjoyment. Now in the final stages of experimenting with digital interconnects to my Audio Aero Prestige SACD player which will do the D/A conversion. Digital cables in rotation currently are Nirvana and Purist Audio Aqueous which is how I came across this neat little device from PAD. Will have an answer for you in the next week or so.

Hello,

Did you compare the sound between these two ?

Thank you

no have not compared wireless vs wired yet. Still cooking the Audioquest ethernet cable.
did first AB of wireless (3meter distance) vs 8meter ethernet wire on the sonos. I have to use an 8 m run of ethernet to cover the 3 meters between zp90 players due to the in wall path it takes in my room. Initial impression is that wireless has more air in the mids and highs and is therefore slightly more involving. Going from wired to wireless on the same song I felt the need turn the volume down 1 step on my CAT preamp. low registers on piano came through with more force wirelessly. All of these differences are subtle and i still need to AB. Id like to give the ethernet about 500 hrs of burn in due to its length and then do one final AB. Excessive length of ethernet cable may be a factor and will consider going shorter.
