Fiber Optic Cable


So, my provider installed fiber optic cable to my house yesterday.  Not only is my TV picture much clearer, but my streaming audio is better quality as well.  My modem/router goes via ethernet into my Apple TV and I use Apple Music to a WIIM Amp via optic cable into vintage floor-standing JBLs.  I'm sure there are better DACs out there, but it sounds pretty good to me.

PS...I know this is an audio site, but Apple TV is fantastic.

Fiber is ALWAYS better than Ethernet. Look at what Playback Designs is using with Plink. What do they know about DACs and streaming.

Funny thing is you DO NOT need to spend $5k to make a great fibre streamer.

Ethernet is great for dealers since you can make it sound great with a lot of other costly things. With fibre, it is rather boring since a single relatively low-cost item will suffice. I have beem on the fibre bandwagon a very long time.
