Probably need to do more listening but I'm struggling to hear a difference between having a cable in the LAN port or not. This surprised me as I can hear a difference between different cables connecting the Melco to the LAN. Or at least I think I can

It mean that there is no difference in SQ between Direct Mode and Network Mode with static IP address. And Network Mode with static IP provides sufficient isolation from network and the Internet even with the patch cord connected to LAN port of Melco.
