Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?

I use quality silver plated cable into my etherregen.  

Fiber may be good but I feel like people to ignore the need to convert the signal to optical and back to electrical in order to use fiber.  Generally these two converters are basic IT grade and can introduce more noise than you are saving by going optical.

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. 

A lot of people are doing this now. Jon Swenson (eR designer) recommended using an FMC in front of the fibre. Which is what the EtherRegen does in reverse order, B > A.

I do this in one of my streamers. Since I do this and fibre I do not care about the crap on the bad side of the eR moat.

Some of the official sound police engineers on A’gon like to say the Swenson is a quake but for me the improvement in sound is real ducky.

BTW - fibre is all I use it it very easy to hear improvements with fibre in my setup. As I said before I have a alot of crap on the bad side of the fibre. The fibre and FMC clean this noise up, so the noise does not get into the DAC. How can I tell? I just replace the fibre for Ethernet and listen.

I am using a WireWorld Platinum 8 from my modem to the etherRegen. I guess just the opposite of what you asked.

From the etherRegen, I am running fiber to my Lumin X1. Way better sounding than with ethernet, I am also using the After Dark clock.
