If you read my review of the Network Acoustics Muon Pro Ethernet filter, you know I found it offered sound improvements in my systems.
The eno2 is the new and, according to the company, improved version of their original eno filter which is a somewhat scaled down version of the Muon Pro.
What does the eno2 do? From the company:
The eno2 Ethernet Filter is designed to remove high frequency noise present in the Ethernet signal that connects music and video streaming equipment.
Ethernet in > Filter > Ethernet out.
Every eno2 ships with a 0.75M length of the new eno2 Streaming Cable and the package comes in at £829.17 (about $1k USD).
Here’s the complete press release from Network Acoustics:
Introducing eno2
Our New 1Gb/s Ethernet Filter & Streaming Cable
Bring a new analogue richness, depth and dynamic excitement to streamed music, with Network Acoustics eno2 Ethernet Filter
In 2020 Network Acoustics arrived with their market defining passive Ethernet Filter, the original eno. With an eno in your system, the music-obsessed founders, Rich and Rob, demonstrated that they were on their way to capturing the magical sound of their cherished vinyl in streamed music, but without the crackles and pops!
The all-new eno2 features an 8-core passive ethernet filter, meticulously designed to maximise the benefits of a
1Gb/s connection. This removes significantly more noise from the Ethernet signal than the original eno, and consequently improves on its performance in every way.
Comprehensive 8-core Noise Filtering
Featuring a version of Network Acoustics groundbreaking 1Gb/s filtering technology, first used in the muon Pro Ethernet filter, the eight-core filter system is housed in an aluminium enclosure that is precisely milled to the perfect thickness for optimal RFI/EMI shielding. Completing the package is the 1Gb/s eno2 Streaming Cable, designed with their latest noise-rejecting technology to ensure a clean connection between the filter and streamer.
“The overwhelming and often emotional feedback we received about the original eno showed us how much pleasure it brought to our customers’ lives. It also had a profound effect on ours. It allowed us to turn a part-time passion project into a full-time endeavour, making Network Acoustics a reality. With eno2 we have stayed true to the values of the original while incorporating everything we’ve learned over the past four years. The result is an entirely new filter capable of delivering a sound our human ears crave: an analogue smoothness, richness, depth of tone, and dynamic excitement that is so hard to achieve with digitally sourced music.” – Network Acoustics co-founder Rob Osbourn

eno2 Highlights
Streaming sounds better at 1Gb/s: The eno2 1Gb/s Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cable are meticulously designed to maximise the benefits of a 1Gb/s connection. While 100Mb/s designs can stream Hi-Res music without dropouts and simplify noise rejection, their extensive testing and critical listening conclusively showed that a 1Gb/s connection significantly improves sound quality.
Universally compatible: We are increasingly seeing new streaming equipment and audio related software being optimized to only work with a 1Gb/s connection. The eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cables ensure universal compatibility now and in the future.
Comprehensive 8-core filtering: the eno2 filter cleans all eight conductors in a standard Ethernet cable, whereas 100Mb/s filters only clean four, leaving the others untreated.
Tuned shield enclosure: Network Acoustics tested multiple grades and gauges of aluminium to develop an enclosure that provides the perfect level of RFI shielding without compromising the integrity of the output Ethernet signal.
1Gb/s eno2 Streaming Cable: Network Acoustics understand how important the final connection is between the filter and streamer, so every filter is supplied with a 0.75M length of their new eno2 Streaming Cable.
Engineered, hand assembled and individually tested in the UK: every eno2 Ethernet Filter and Streaming Cable is hand-built by Network Acoustics in the UK and individually tested against the original.
