Designed for Purity Between Your Network and Music Streamer

The SmoothLAN integrates seamlessly between your home network and music streamer with one clear purpose: to remove crosstalk and interference, eliminating potential sources of parasitic noise that can mask musical detail.

Counteracting noise and preserving the precise timing of digital signal transmission are essential steps in allowing your Hi-Fi to perform at its full potential.

FAQs

Every system is unique, so we can’t tell you exactly what you’ll hear. Every network carries electrical noise, though. Routers, switches and the other devices on your network all add to it, and once you’re streaming, that network is part of your signal chain.

The SmoothLAN Filter doesn’t change the sound of your system. It clears away the noise that masks low-level detail. What people tell us is that the background gets quieter, with more space and air in the music.

The easiest way to find out is to try it at home for 60 days.

Yes. A cable can’t enhance an audio signal; the best it can do is preserve signal purity. The noise the SmoothLAN removes is generated by the network itself, by your router, switch and connected devices, so it travels down even a very good cable.

Place it directly between your network and your music streamer, as the last thing before the streamer. For example: router or switch, then the SmoothLAN Filter, then your streamer. This position delivers the greatest benefit in most systems.

1. Power down your streamer. 2. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your streamer’s network port. 3. Plug that cable into one of the ports on the SmoothLAN. 4. Connect the short cable supplied with the SmoothLAN to its second port. 5. Plug the other end into your streamer’s network port. 6. Power your streamer back up.

There’s no power supply and nothing to set up. The SmoothLAN isn’t directional, so either port works.

No. Limiting the connection to 100Mbps prioritises signal purity and noise reduction over raw speed. Even the most demanding hi-res music uses a fraction of that: an uncompressed 24-bit/192kHz stereo stream needs around 9Mbps.

The SmoothLAN is designed specifically for music streamers. Because it limits the connection to 100Mbps, it isn’t suited to devices that need a faster link, such as a computer or a music server that requires a gigabit connection.

The Filter is purely passive. It removes high-frequency noise and interference at the network input, using six independent isolation stages and no external power.

The Regenerator doesn’t just filter, it rebuilds the network signal entirely. It re-clocks and regenerates the data stream using a high-precision master clock and an ultra-low-noise power supply.

Yes. Although results depend on the system, the two can complement each other. Place the Filter first, closest to your router or switch, and the Regenerator directly before your music streamer.

You can, but chaining two filters can lead to over-filtering, which may subtly dampen dynamics in some systems. If you want to take things further, pairing the Filter with the Regenerator is a better next step.

Inside are six independent filter stages. Each uses precision-wound magnetics, sealed in its own machined aluminium pocket and shielded from the others. Across the six stages, noise is removed, contained and drained away. The SmoothLAN also breaks the ground connection between your network and your streamer, stopping unwanted current from carrying noise across.

The case is solid aluminium rather than plastic. Plastic offers little shielding, while aluminium shields the filter from interference around it, and an absorbing lining deals with what remains inside.

Customer Reviews

"OK, the SmoothLAN filter is fantastic. The difference it makes is night and day. Internet radio has come alive. Vocals are crystal clear, midrange is definitely improved. As for bass, hold on to a seat. WOW. Reggae radio stations are fabulous sounding. SmoothLAN is an absolute winner. Radio stations sound bad enough, the SmoothLAN just sorts is all out wonderfully. 100% recommended. Octave radio sounds proper audiophile sound quality. The short fly lead could be a lot more flexible which is my only negative. Buy one with confidence. What a difference!"

"I love the SmoothLAN. I thought I'd have to do some A/B listening to appreciate it. Not so much. Immediately noticed more 3D in the high end, and a notable increase in instrumental separation and body. One ore step towards the LP12 sound from digital! Not too subtle, actually. You  guys are doing tweaks are 1/5 of the price of others with similar or better results!"

Kelvin C. - USA

Used with: Linn Klimax DSM streamer

"Just a note to confirm that I have received smooth lan. It’s been installed into the Ethernet input in my recently aquired melco library streamer. I also had fibre broadband installed last week.

So my system is a little disturbed at the moment. I also want to let the smooth lan bed in. My link is also out of the mix at the moment as I mentioned, something I need to sort out.When you make changes you get alterations in the sound, they may not all be in the right direction. So before I added the lan smoother I could hear vocal sibilance on a couple of tracks that I play regularly. On balance it was something I accepted as a trade off for the more pinpoint three dimensional sound image.The problem track was the first I played. The vocal sibilance had disappeared! So I am delighted. So only positive improvements noticed at the moment. I will give it some time to bed in before I give it a more considered focused impression."

Colin H. - UK

"Once the SmoothLAN was installed everything seemed to just be more open and free. The bass is so tight and everyting is just so crisp, it's delivering like a product worth 20 times its price, it's like when I swapped out the XPS DR for the 555PS DR, it's that good!"

“I have a problem with the unstable sound stage (not sure how it is exactly called in English), the stage (sound volume and width) appears and disappears from time to time. I found that it is caused by the router problem but right now I cannot change it to a new one.

I have a streamer naim NDS connected to the router through a switch Cisco catalist 2960.

When I connected the SmoothLAN network filter between the switch and NDS, I did not hear any audible difference. Then I connected it between the router and the switch, and this time the stable sound was established and the problem disappeared.

Thank you for good product and excellent service.”

“I'm using the filter between an English Electric network switch (which I bought a few months ago) and a Bluesound Node X streamer, streaming mainly from Qobuz and Radio Paradise. The SmoothLAN is working well with the EE switch, building on the benefits that came with the EE switch, by increasing the transparency of recordings and detail definition. There also seems to be more soundstage depth.”

“I did not expect the SmoothLAN to work in my system since I only listen to music ripped to a Upnp server. I was wrong!

My system has never sounded better than with the SmoothLAN (and AUVA 100s and AUVA EQs).

It is a no brainier to try it in your system - I am delighted with the results.”

Bob Mitchell — via Trustpilot

“My system/digital front end was already sounding good, and the SmoothLAN has made it just that much better. Instruments (especially piano/voice) sound more 'full' and in-the-room. The soundstage is more spacious, and there's less sense that the music is coming from the speakers.

At a very attractive price/performance point, I'd heartily recommend the SmoothLAN!”

James Blokland — via Trustpilot

“more punch, better instrument separation, and increased feeling that the music is outside the speakers”

Jim - CA

“I guess cleaning up the noise allows more detail through and that manifests itself as much more detail in massed instruments, crisper fruitier brass, more clues about ambience more percussive piano notes, and quite a big difference in the bass”

"The SmoothLAN arrived on Friday. I LOVED it! I could hear a significant difference with the SmoothLAN in my chain, without a doubt the best my system has sounded. I could hear much more transparency, the music sounded so clean, no fatigue while listening for a few hours... the music just sounded so much more natural and easy to listen to. You folks have created a gem, kudos."

David F. - UK

“The sound improvement by the Audio Stack SmoothLAN is great. I'm able to compare the sound playing from a local starage with the sound by streaming from the Internet. Without the SmoothLAN it sounds better from local storage, but with the SmoothLAN it is considerably better when streaming from the Internet.”

Gunter — via Trustpilot

“Just helps the music flow!

A beautifully constructed product from an innovative UK company that also has great customer support. If you own a DAC that is network connect - you need to listen to SmoothLAN!”
