It will be a while before I can make a useful reply: Innuos recommend 100 hours burn-in and for the switch to be left powered on all the time. This is so the clock reaches optimal temperature.
Network Accoustics USB III is pure silver so it also requires 100 hours burn-in.
For users of the Network Accoustics ENO filter please remember that it is designed to work in combination with a switch and located after it. The ENO should plug into the streamer or similar.

I'll be interested in what you discover. David's recommendation has convinced me the ENO is a worthwhile investment, so I'd likely use it in combination with my PhoenixNet. That said, I have something I want to address of the headphone side of things first. I am sorry but I did not notice that you have both the PhoenixNET and PhoenixUSB. What are your impressions? If you have already posted then I apologise for not being aware of those posts.

Extraordinary! 100 hours burn in Wow! "So the clock reaches optimal temperature"! Why so little time for you to forget that we recently moved to BST, or is this BullShitTime. I prefer British Summer Time.

The PhoenixUSB is extremely good (to my mind, significantly better than the SOtM equivalent), and I'd recommended it if you're running USB into a DAC. I haven't had a chance to test the ethernet side of things to my DSP's yet, mostly because of the twins being asleep when I'm not working, but I fully expect the PhoenixNet to be as good.
It strikes me a lot of thought went into these designs.

I have the ENO AG to demo as a dealer, I will post my opinions as an audio guy after I have spent some time with it. My room will finally be going back together now that I have a 271 again. I have kept the new factory 8kse in the boxes until the room was back together. It has been killing me not to open them. For USB there is also the Audioquest Jitterbug.

I'll be interested in what you discover. Some will be amused, others will be rightly sceptical, and a few will be provocative and hostile. Those interested in hifi may like to know that the Innuos PhoenixNET is giving a cleaner, sweeter sound with a greater sense of scale. I have found that it is impossible to asses this switch properly if it has not been fully burnt in (100 hours approximately). The switch also needs to be powered all the time and warmed up for a week. After this, there was a reduction of hardness and distortion on mass choral works or crescendos from baritones.
