In Reply to: RE: Why is the physical placement of NAS changing the sound??? posted by eduardoo on May 24, 2016 at 00:23:10
I have a QNAP 251+ and noticed a significant improvement isolating with Fiber. Swapping back & forth between Fiber and RJ45 is incredibly easy for me.
You may also want to try an EMO EN-30 Ethernet isolater, $190 on Amazon.
Not too crazy in price, and easily sold as are in demand. Also, - compared to some more of the expensive RJ45 Ethernet cables, a fiber set-up can be very reasonably priced.

FYI, the EMO EN-30, and other devices like it are really intended to be placed RIGHT BEFORE the source component (streamer) That is benefit the greatest benefit is going to be.
That being said, one at the NAS may be an interesting addition, but I would not spend the money just to place it there, with no similar device upstream. Just my take.
Yeah....
Just wanted to toss it out there as another possibility to see if it could be more of a network isolation thing, (ethernet cabling), and less of a NAS thing specifically...
Interestingly, - I have read where some folks were noticing differences when they replaced their NAS SMPS with an LPS: and not liking the LPS.

Good thinking...def. a point to consider
But I have to say, if one can REALLY hear environmental changes in the NAS at their HiFi there is a major problem with the unit or the set up.
The whole premise of Ethernet audio is galvanic isolation and not having those issues in the listening room.
