Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer?


Interested to know if it mattered? did you hear any sound changes?

my streamer has an optical input, and trying to decide if its worth converting over from ethernet?

Fibre is the best upgrade I have done on my streaming. The OpticalRendu is great. Ethernet direct into a DAC was about the same as my microRendu. Fibre optical was so much better than either of those 2. It was so obvious to me that I immediately bought a second OpticalRendu. I have been using both for about 6 months now on 2 DACs.

The only DAC with Ethernet that I think could be very good and challenge the Fibre optical is the upcoming AudioByte Hub (need the VOX + ZAP).

@jd55 I use this switch for fibre.
