are NET Switches worth considering?

@fire_water 

I appreciate the sentiment and high praise. I believe we all are trying to have a space that makes time disappear… the kind where one record turns into five without you even noticing. 

Bobo Stenson, Tord Gustavsen, and Marcin Wasilewski and many others are perfect for that atmosphere that every bit intimate, spacious, and emotionally loaded without ever trying too hard. And pairing it with a good cognac… that’s not just listening anymore, that’s a full sensory ritual. The warmth, the decay of notes, the silence between phrases…it all starts to matter more.

Honestly with my setup, I am not chasing sound anymore… I am just choosing experiences. 

@zlone  Innuos makes great products period.  In firefighting we have the term "try before you pry" meaning, try opening a door before actually breaking down the door to gain access lol. Unfortunately with audio house demos are very rare and rely on people through forums to make decisions for us. 

@lalitk +2 on your system. We can all dream.  Regarding the LHY filter you recommended, did you remove your telegartner switch and other filter(s) and replace it with the LHY device?

@lalitk does the EFI | Ethernet Filter with Optical Isolation ship from the US or China? If China, assume no return is possible or at great expense? 
 

After some years of initially liking several of these ethernet filters I have sold them all off preferring the sound of my system without them.  They all seem to give improved resolution, but at the expense of musicality. I did not see a return policy on the site.
