What’s the difference between Adot and those looking identical on other places which cost 59 EUR for double setup?
Also, the ENO looks like just two ferrites with the ethernet wires going around them?

Surely you mean “original passive filtering system” which “ filters out electrical noise which would otherwise be delivered via the ethernet cable into your sensitive audio equipment”
Any thoughts on this black box?
Ethernet in, Ethernet out. Wires around what looks like two ferrite rings.
I read some claiming ferrite and Ethernet is a nogo but maybe that is when placing it around the full cable and not if you split in pairs like in this product?
What is this box at the bottom supposed to do? It looks home constructed, who has built it?
Those white wires are not Ethernet wires. Modern Ethernet would need four such twisted pairs… so intrigued.
On the other SFP to RJ45 interface converter… I would usually avoid such things unless you need to use fibre because your Ethernet segment link is longer than 100metres. They can in them selves be sources of electrical noise and serial clock phase noise… both of which some appear to hear the effects of on some streamer models.
The SFP modules look a bit odd as well?
1.25g
I think they only support 100Mbps, hence the 2 pairs. Doesn’t look good though…
Ok, I see there are two twisted pairs… but the twists don’t look accurate … so I am not sure how well the signal would be balanced.
I can see what it is doing in passing each direction of the 100 Mbps connection through a ferrite ring… to impede common mode electrical noise… but visually it appears poorly built with no good electro magnetic separation between the two twisted pairs… and the twists them selves look to be low quality … I suspect it would imbalance the ethernet signals… which in them selves makes Ethernet more noisy or susceptible to noise, and it looks like any common mode noise could radiate in part past the ferrite chokes… kind of defeating the purpose of the box.
The idea is good but I think it should be manufactured and designed better so as not to introduce its own compromises. If someone has built this at home then fair enough(kind of like some of my experimental boxes) they are probably aware of these compromises… but I wouldn’t buy such a unit of this sort of quality.
It’s the 695GBP network acoustics eno. Ethernet filter that have got great reviews.
LOL - thanks… I’ll be giving it a pass …
BTW it’s NOT really an ethernet filter - its a ethernet cable common mode electrical interference filter or EMC filter at best.
well there you go then… all is ok. Out of interest are there are technical specifications published to what is actually highly tuned? I would have thought any high degree of tuning and careful component selection would need to be specific to the interference frequencies of interest - and if not specific then it will be a broad frequency attenuator and by definition not highly tuned… but those cables were definitely not twisted suitably in my humblest of opinions.
You need to buy what you are comfortable with - from my perspective - it looks too vague, poorly made and amateur - but that is only my opinion and means nothing.
Habe you been able to try the ENO or MUON Pro in the meantime?
Hi… no I haven’t looked at those things.
One born every minute, face it.
The good news I guess is, if you want to try one spend 59 euro instead.
Pfffffffffff… for that amount of money…curious what is inside the Muon and Muon Pro…
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but a quick question.
Are you still using your ADOT system, or have you moved on from that now?
If still using, what are your current thoughts?
Cheers.
DG…
You can buy the same unit’s much cheaper than the adot prices by going on amazon
Hi DG – Yes, I still have the ADOT MC01 kit but it’s not used on the Hi-Fi side. I have a Sonore Optical Module Deluxe (and Farad 3 PSU) which is used to provide a fibre connection to my KDSM.
The MC01 is a decent plug and play kit but as others have mentioned, you can do it cheaper with a bit of research to understand the various items you’d need. What are you thinking of doing ?
I was thinking of going between the final Netgear switch and the Linn Selekt DSM; Edition Hub
Looking at the TP-Link MC100CM as it is a fraction of the price of the ADOT kit.
