Spotify never sounded so good! I want to get a Waversa LAN noise isolator but for the time being I'm wasting my days listening to music instead of being productive.

Having tried numerous versions of the Waversa - they make nice stuff.

If you had a limited budget which gives you the best outcome. The Smarthub switch or the LAN isolator?

I was not that impressed with the switch in my system. I know it's definitely system dependent but in my personal experience go with the LAN isolator.
Note that N1T has SFP port for fiber network based isolation. For relatively cheap SFP modules and a cheap SFP switch, see:

Some users opt for the more expensive Finisar FTLF1318P3BTL (need a pair). Note that there are many fake Finisar modules - only buy from reputable dealers.

Last month Grandioso N1T was awarded the top honors at the Japan Audio Excellence Awards 2026 with the High-End Class Grand Prize. Grandioso N1 got the Gold prize. N1T is the best digital source I have yet heard.
