There is a long thread on another site with a lot of talk about using fiber media conversions into streamer. The upgrade results are saying it is one of the biggest bang for the buck improvement you can do. You need two fmc’s run by a linear power supply and the shortest cate8 cable that will work for the final run into streamer. All in it is a little over $100. I am waiting for one more shipment to hook mine up. Secondary benefit if it does nothing for sound improvement it gives you lightning protection for your streamer as a surge can’t go through fiber.
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.
