Optical vs Ultra Rendu.

It’s funny that people are worried about sq when they use usb to their dac. If you want to increase sq, stop using usb.

If you have a noisy network, right before your dac when using the Ethernet input on your dac, get a pair of Ethernet to fiber converters with a good fiber cable between the converters. Pretty easy. Fiber can’t carry some of the garbage that is on a copper network.

Definitely not a universal statement, such as the Musetec 005 DAC.

 jjss49 - thank you for your direct feedback.

sns - "Get good power supply for OpticalRendu, best you can afford"

Do you feel the LPS sold with the Rendu (bundle) is inferior? And

"At some point you may want to look into getting a switch rather than going out from relatively noisy router."

Any recommendations on a good switch?

Also sns you state: "OpticalRendu $1500 plus FMC $25 or so"

In this bundle it does not show any FMCs, so what is this for?

singingg - super interesting journey, thank you for sharing. I'm hoping to get as close to what you have achieved, but somehow, without 9 boxes. You've definitely taken separates to another level!
