I wanted to draw attention to this network filter by Network Acoustics. I have the silver version which is placed between my switch and NUC. It enhances all the usual hi-fi virtues of scale, dynamics, tonal purity, removal of harshness etc. But it is its ability to allow detail to shine through that is remarkable. I was very surprised by how good it is.
At first, focus was a bit off but after some burn-in it became first rate. [Will people who do not believe in burn-in please ignore the above. I do not want to debate the issue. But I can think of no better component to demonstrate the benefits of burn-in than the silver version of this filter.]

A further improvement for a NUC is to add a DC iPurifier 2 to its switch-mode power supply. Priced at £99.

Thanks. I already had a LPS for my NUC. I found this filter gave a greater uplift in sound quality but, of course, it was more expensive. And I also run my NUC on balanced power.

I forgot to mention that there are favourable reviews in The Ear and HiFi Wig Wam: see the links here. The Ear has also given it an Innovation award.

Noteworthy is one example featuring the effects of such a filter being used in combination with a Meridian 210.

The clue resides in my equipment bio.
Even so, a NUC SMPS is 19v.
The DC iPurifier 2 is suitable for such SMPS devices between 5v and 24v.

That’s why I ask... Read this, from the website of Sbooster. The BOTW P&P ECO power supply can be used as an upgrade for PC based systems that have a processor with a TDP of max 25W. There are over 200 Intel processors on the market that meet this requirement, see Intel Many "N", "J", "i3" en "i5" and "i7" Intel processors can be powered by the 18-19V BOTW P&P ECO. Please note: the 8th generation Intel NUC is NOT compatible due to the increased power consumption! Please note: the Ultra MKI/MKII is not compatible with a NUC. We noticed customers are trying to use a Ultra on a NUC. This leads to problems while booting and in the end the NUC becomes defective. Please note that the power supply on a Roon Nuclues+ cannot be used in combination with the DSP function. Please note: BOTW P&P ECO MKII 18-19V is not suitable for the new generation Roon Nucleus+ V2.
