When Network Acoustics (NA) started out most serious audiophiles saw streaming as little more than just a tool for discovering new music. With the development of the original eno Ethernet Filter, NA demonstrated that by removing network noise from the Ethernet signal and keeping it out of the digital playback chain, streaming could sound as natural and magical as high-end vinyl and CD sources.
With the original eno Network Acoustics’ founders, Rich and Rob, created a truly ground breaking, but affordable Ethernet Filter, making high-quality streaming an accessible reality for broad audience. In the five years since the original eno’s launch, NA has continued to pursue a relentless program of R&D, introducing innovation after innovation which has resulted in string of ground breaking products. The new eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming System hold true to Rich and Rob’s original vision while raising the bar higher still, pushing both performance and value for money to an entirely new level.
Features
- Streaming sounds better at 1Gb/s: The eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cables are meticulously designed to maximize the benefits of streaming over a 1Gb/s network connection. Comparing listening to a 100Mb/s connection versus a 1Gb/s connection, our critical listening tests repeatedly demonstrated that a 1Gb/s connection significantly enhances sound quality.
- Universally Compatible: The eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cables are fully compatible with network devices operating between 10 Mb/s- 2.5Gb/s.
- Future Proof: New streaming equipment is increasingly being optimised for 1Gb/s connections. Many audio protocols and software applications such as HQ Player, Ravenna, and Diretta are optimized for 1Gb/s Ethernet connections. The eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cables ensure universal compatibility now and in the future.
- Comprehensive 8-core filtering: The eno2 Ethernet Filter cleans all 8 conductors found in a standard Ethernet cable, whereas 100Mb/s filters only clean 4, leaving the others untreated.
- Tuned shielded enclosure: Network Acoustics tested multiple grades and gauges of aluminium to find an enclosure that provides the perfect level of shielding without compromising the integrity of the output Ethernet signal.
- eno2 Streaming Cable: Recognizing the critical nature of the final connection to the streaming device, with every eno2 filter Network Acoustics includes a 0.75M length of the the new eno2 Streaming Cable for this purpose.
- Seamless ROON connectivity: eno2 design enables seamless connectivity with ROON with zero lag, even when streaming hi-res DSD files.
- Engineered, handcrafted, and tested in the UK: eno2 Ethernet Filters and Streaming Cables are made by hand in the UK and are individually tested and compared against the original development units.
