Does anyone have experience using a Network Acoustics Muon Pro between Antipodes CX and EX? Currently, I connect both directly with a Siltech Ethernet cable. I’m wondering if there are any improvements to this…
I cannot speak to using the Muon Pro for the CX and EX. I use it between my switch and the Oladra, it does reduce noise and improve sound.
You might need to share which Siltech ethernet cable you use. Because really what you are seeking is a comparison between your Siltech cable and Muon Pro. I’d say in most cases changing cable between CX and EX will make a difference, that connection is not immune. I have found the Direct out of CX is not as good as other solutions, such as connecting both CX and player to a good switch.
Thanks for the reply. It’s a “Classic Anniversary Silver-Gold Network Cable.” I think it’s the entry-level cable and about five years old. I’m thinking about buying a Muon Pro (not the whole streaming system), and then I’ll still need the Siltech.
I’d be surprised if Muon didnt make a difference.
On a tangent, it might be worth considering a good switch (of similar value) instead, if you dont already have one. That might be a challenge, because it would benefit from a decent power cord, and provide better value with seperate connections to CX and EX thereby needing another ethernet cable.
For anyone in the UK, I am having a big change in my test bed systems and a Muon Pro plus associated cable will be available at a good price . . . .
