Can a inexpensive RJ45 to Fiber optic converters sound better then coaxial ?


I  have seen $$ conversion from RJ -45  coaxial to fiber optic  using Sonore with excellent results but at $2500+ linear power supplies . On Amazon for under $250: people online say buy 2-converters , and the $70  Ifi audio 5 v wall warts are decent much better then stock wall warts ,  will that better the Coaxial setup going to a Uptone audio Ether regen ?  It’s a legit ?  if done effectively noise doesnot travel through a light conductor ,sonore use top Femto clocks regulators ,and a separate power supply is needed i get that but now we are talking $3500

i just want to know what’s possible at minimal cost .i currently use a Ether regen with AQ Diamond Ethernet cables , and the very good Final Touch Audio Callisto USB cable , your help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.

All the testing I've seen says Ethernet is essentially perfect.  It has built in ground isolation and great performance characteristics.  The one place where I use an Ethernet to optical converter is for lightning protection alone.
