Mistake to change from Spectrum (Coaxial) to Fios (Fiber optical)???

Hello

I changed from Spectrum to Verizon Fios today, my sound is now terrible, everything is missing including the bass.
My Martin Logan Montis lack bass and poor stage, 2nd system with Raidho speakers is far worse.

Spectrum using a coaxial cable from street pole to modem, Fios using optical.

Have I made a mistake? Are there any solutions or do I need to change back to Spectrum using coaxial?

Thanks for your input.

Auralic is just a streamer? You have external DAC?

Potentially some incompatibility between the Auralic and your what I assume is your new Modem/Router?  If a new Modem/Router, since you have it hard wired, and throw in a DAC there, there could be some electrical issue and that seems more likely.

When you have digital streaming issues, you have drop-outs. You don't lose bass and you shouldn't have sound-stage issues unless your Auralic is doing something strange.
