Duelund speaker cable
Thanks @vinylvalet .  Can I ask if you've tried it?  What advice I've found on this subject indicates that the Duelund cables are at their best when single-wired.  
Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change
@nomorelandings  It's odd you raise the issue of connectivity because before the 2.3.0 my one main bugbear with the Android Sense app was that it frequently had to relocate the server.   Often this would take a minute or so. And now, with 2.3.0,... 
Network optimization for serious streamers
@thieliste Ha!  I've just noticed my typo.  It was actually the FTLF1318P3BTL I bought. However, I do value tone and sweet midrange over detail, so will keep my eye out for used 1324P2BTL.  Thanks again.

Just a quick note to @thieliste . I took your recommendation of the Finisar 1321. Got a very good price used on eBay. They've definitely improved upon the SFPs which came with my optical kit, and now feeds my EtherRegen.    
Innuos 2.3.0 update - USB latency mode change
Hi @jimintally  The route is: System => Settings => Audio => (the cog icon for the target DAC) => USB Latency Mode is half way down

@lalitk , @charles1dad  I'm completely in agreement.  The original recording and/or remastering is far more important than the resolution.  A great example is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young.  Qobuz has two versions of it:  a CD-re... 
Network optimization for serious streamers
Hi @sns Just a point regarding the EtherRegen running hot. I’m no electrical engineer, and it’s 3 decades since I completed my physics, but I would expect the higher voltage to generate less heat. If we assume power requirements to be constant,...

I have just placed an ADOT FMC in front of my EtherRegen. It feeds into the ER's SFP socket, with Ethernet out of the ER's B port The effect has been transformative, as significant as the original introduction of the ER - maybe even more so. It s... 
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
Hi @antigrunge2  Going back to your clock for EtherRegen advice, can I ask what you're using? I don't want to spend silly money, and certainly not more than I spent on the ER.  I've noticed a Chinese clock, BG7TBL, seems to be a popular choice. ... 
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
Thanks @antigrunge2  First suggestion already done. Russ Andrews router connected to metre long copper rod stuck in ground Second, thanks for the advice  
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
@ozzy The Zenith is Ethernet input only  
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
Well, I now have a fibre kit feeding my EtherRegen, and even in the few hours I've had it up and running I can clearly state that the level of detail, texture and musicality have gone up a notch, without impacting the overall warm tone which I hav... 
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
@sns I have looked at AfterDark, but for such an audition the overhead of import taxes and possible return are discouraging.  My ADOT kit should arrive in a day or two.  
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
@discopants , @sns  Thanks.  Useful info there.  Regarding the SFP modules, they would be supplied as part of an audiophile fiber kit, so am assuming they're fit for purpose - though this would seem to be a highly subjective area.  As far as I ca... 
Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
@wsrrsw You mention Ethernet in and SFP out.  Unless we're using different terms to describe the same thing, I'm wondering about SFP in (A side) and ethernet out (B side) to streamer
