I've seen that, don't quite understand the ethernet out scheme, point of FMC is to use fiber cable. This isn't FMC, rather just a filter.

https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/55217-sonore-opticalrendu/page/27/#comment-963599 In this link John Swenson makes case for how everything in network prior to optical conversion affects accuracy of clocks in Sonore optical module and rendu...

I didn't like audiophile switch with my setup, and suspect I'd not like any switch. I've bridged second ethernet out of modded mac mini using thunderbolt port. This way I can go direct out from server to streamer or FMC (later opticalmodule). A se... 
Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office.
So, now they do this with domestic ground shipping, that's lame! When you pay for UPS ground shipping it should be UPS all the way. Who knows whats going on in shipping today, employees out because of covid, trying to increase profit margins. We m...

@yyzsantabarbara  I'll get the opticalmodule at some point in future, unless I get Sonictransporter I9 which has opticamodule built in. I considered the Signature rendu se optical, but at $4800 is stiff price to pay for built in high quality LPS. ... 
Can one have too many tube components in a system?
Nope, not if equipment well designed, good AC, proper grounding, quality tubes. One of my amps 845SET matched to 104db sensitivity speakers, a bit more noise than 300B SET's, still not obtrusive. I too like my dac solid state. Ran a tube dac with...

@dbb I have all Audioquest Vodka, longest cable 1.5m, only one that length, rest 1m. I've been told its the connectors where the emi/rfi gets in. Regardless, optical will get rid of all, I expect all optical streaming will be de facto in near futu... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I'm moving on from generic fmc and Sotm sms200 neo to the Sonore Opticalrendu, replaces one FMC and it's lps and sotm. Next will be optical out server such as Small Green Computer Sonictransporter I9 or diy solution with optical out, this gets rid... 
Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office.
This should only happen when you choose UPS or Fedex lowest cost and quality shipping option. I believe this only happens with international shipping, only recall this happening with cheap items sent from ebay international sellers.   Actually, ... 
in search of audio nirvana .....
It has to be something I've listened to a lot over the long term. No single album or song or passage of music does it for me unless the improvement or deficiency is extremely obvious. It may take me weeks of long term listening sessions with wide ... 
I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time
PRAT may be the most obscure audio terms I can think of. I relate it to music and performance far more than to system. Both pace and rhythm are generated by musician, not system. Timing even more obscure, this has most meaning to me in relation to... 
Listening without interpretation...is it impossible?
Srajan Ebaen of 6moons fame certainly has an ability to relate his personal experience to audio system listening. He tries very hard to give context to his listening preference, by context I mean his emotional states.   His writing dense, bother...

@dbb  After further research I've decided to move in another direction. I have Sonore opticalrendu coming in tomorrow. This will replace one of my TPLink FMC and SOTM sms200 Neo.   I've been streaming for six years now, greatest improvements I'v... 
Don’t want to freak you out…
Like to attach my cats ears/horns to my head. The good thing is these horns are adjustable, rotate as needed.  
The hunt is over
Yep, never say never   We need evidence this is possible, lets hear from audiophiles who've gone long period of time without changing a thing. How bout thread asking this very question.
