From your description I’d go with Ansuz all the way.

In your setup I would also go for D2.
3D, Micro Detail, Soundstage is what I really enjoy with PN as well - 500dr and sigma brought it in. Diamond even more… but too more.
My setup needs a bit gentle touch - so PN good here

What interests me …
How would you rate PN against ee8 plus farad.
This is a test i have done.
I would have chosen PN in that case. Even though I found PN more coloured it was overall better than EE8. Have put D2 Powerswitch + D2 cable back and it will most likely be my choice going forward. Very good switch indeed.
Thx a lot.
As I had a „non color gate“ here when I had used diamond Ethernet, I know that i should count on PN 
Not very surprising - a bit bucks for both

PN with BJC Ethernet is a great combo Drago IMO. There is a lot of blending/ seasoning with switches and cables to factor in.

I believe you. It’s about the blend. Too much salty or pepper and it spoils the dish. Belden Catsnake 6 is just a little thick with PN (for my tastes) better with EE8. Then of course we have the choice of first switch if cascading. I quite like Cisco 2960 before PN but not Cisco before EE8.

Do you use BJC as last leg between PN and nd555?
Tried with 2 switches (additional 2960 in row) but preferred PN alone
Put sigma in and you LP12 is 2nd… 
. No - not really … but streaming is up in another league with sigma (in my system)

Not my LP12 mate. Sorry 
. No always Chord Music for that last 1m. It’s brilliant there.

PN alone great also. Just find the cables for you as you have done

That’s what I missed - could not imagine that you use a more standard cable as last leg. Chord music … I think it can do music

It’s crazy how good it is in the last leg of the chain and realise even Naim’s top employee IMO Jas Gould is using one there.

I don’t think Ansuz is that big in UK but have seen a guy on here that prefered D2 DIN DIN over Chord Music. I have friends that have Music that swears they are end game. I will only try them if I can afford them because I’m afraid I cannot send them back

Here in Germany ansuz is a bigger deal - there are quite some dealers pushing them. And at the last hifi show in Hamburg I had a very nice chat with a Dane (as always with Danes ) - he was from ansuz

So the Stack audio lan-isolator has been in the system a few days now and I can’t really fault it and I really want to fault it😅.
One criticism I might have is what it does to the bass but I’m not sure what it does to the bass. There is a risk it lowers the energy in the deeper bass but that might also be artefacts being left out after filtering.
Otherwise I think it sounds fine. Not sure I’d get it though but who knows. I have a nagging feeling a real switch might be better. However it is difficult to listen to the streamer without it now that I hear the noise I didn’t hear before😅
Also. The difference isn’t subtle. It’s much cleaner Feels faster with a wider and deeper soundstage. Especially the midrange and voices are beautiful.
What’s your view @Peder

What I forgot to ask - where do you serve from? What’s your nas?
That also made a difference in my system- not a small difference.
I use innous zenith - they are more on the „ansuz side“ of the spectrum afaik
I stream Tidal through Roon. No local files, no vinyl. I heard streaming is the new thing 
Only NAS that connects to my system is
