Network Switches

I can help you understand, although it’s self explanatory.

ultraRendu has optical input. So you need a fiber cable to feed it. So you ‘turn around” the EtherRegen.

I am not the sharpest tool in the toolbox so I still do not get it. I think you may have wanted to say opticalRendu instead of ultraRendu, Sonore states as "Cable Ethernet Input to USB-Audio Output". 

Whatever, the case, I will figure it out and I will buy this EtherREGEN since it is an obvious business expense for my office network.

Thanks for your effort in explaining.  Don't worry about further explanations I will give a call EtherREGEN and figure it out over email or phone.

My bad. I meant opticalRendu

Happy to help further if I can:

What part of it you need help with? the connection part, or the functionality, what brings to the table for those who have the opticalRendu?

@thyname When I originally read about the EtherREGEN it was 3AM. Now that I had my 2 hours of sleep I looked at this again with full mental agility. :)

It seems the question I need answering is what goes into the streaming endpoint in the EtherREGEN + OpticalRendu flow, is it USB or RJ45?

You get Ethernet (copper) from router / main switch into the B side of EtherRegen

Then you buy a SFP fiber transceiver for EtherRegen (it has a FMC port, but not the transceiver). Something life the one at the bottom of this page ($20):

You put that transceiver into the one port on EtherRegen located on side A.

Then you run a fiber cable from that EtherRegen FMC port on side A to your opticalRendu

Then USB cable from your opticalRendu to the USB input of your DAC

For reference and for those who are new to this:

SFP = Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceiver

FMC = Fiber Media Convertor
