That is true and an important point. I use optical as my router is 100+ ft from the ER. I needed to try and consult with people on several different converters prior to settling. Difference in SQ was obvious.
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
Putting a 2nd-hand EtherRegen before my Innuos Zenith Mk3 has probably been the single best upgrade I've made. Like most others' experiences, the shift away from a digital sound has been palpable.
I'm feeding the ER directly from my Netgear Orbi mesh satellite through a Wireworld Starlight ethernet cable. I was wondering, however, if anyone has experienced significant gains from feeding the ER with fiber into its SFP port?
I did assume initially that as the ER is a regenerator the quality of the input shouldn't matter that much. But as I saw another jump when upgrading the ER's input cable it's set me to wondering about optical.
