While I am aware this is very subjective, it does seem that it is improving the imaging substantially. I'm not sure whether the reduction in warmth is my imagination, but I seem to recall reading that Bob Stuart has said that increased jitter can lead to music sounding warmer (and, one presumes, v.v.).

Let it swim at volume 1 for a couple of days. Turn off DSP speakers at the back if you want. To speedup if there is any burn-in required rather than brain adjusting to less noise.

In a week I will swap out the AQ Diamond RJ45 and see if anything is out of the ordinary when running on the Sooloos audio endpoint LAN.
