New Cary DMS 700

Also, I have never tried the opticalRendu, but just bought the opticalModule and huge thumbs up.  Using it to etherRegen with Sablon 2020 ethernet cable.  The Sablon was so much more detailed than my previous Sotm dcbl CAT7 cable.  Tried the Synergistic Galileo ethernet cable and could not tell the difference between that and the Sablon.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I will be purchasing them for my system.

How did you integrate the optical Module?   Router> ethernet cable> Optical Module> Fiber cable>EtherRegan> Sablon> Dac ?

I currently have the Sotm dcbl CAT7.  You really like the Sablon better?
I will give it a try.  

That is exactly my path.  I am using a generic Belden cable from my router.  Before I got the optical module, I experimented with the JCAT LAN isolator and adding multiple generic d-link bridges and it seemed the more bridges, the cleaner the sound was.  The optical module eliminated the need for all of those devices.  I was using the EtherRegen strictly from the "A" ports.  I found that "crossing the moat" actually reduced the dynamics and flattened the sound a bit, but oddly, just using the "A" ports still cleaned up the sound.  Not sure if the EtherRegen is still providing any additional benefit now, but it does have a fiber port!

The best sounding ethernet cable in my system was the Shunyata Omega, but I could not justify the price difference for the 10% refinement.  Also note that I have Sonus Faber Cremona M speakers, so any decisions I make should be in the context of the Sonus Faber/Pass Labs combination.  I can imagine if you have Magico/Soulution, you may have different results.  The Sablon is killer for the price.  I also tried their Prince power chord and really liked that as well.

Anyone using a Synology NAS? I’m trying to get a DMS-700 to connect with my NAS and can’t get it to work. I already have admin and user permissions set up on my NAS. Neither will get the Cary to connect. My server name shows up in the "NETWORK INPUT"screen on the Cary software. When I select it the software asks for login username and password. When I enter either user or admin information, working circle shows up and after a second or two goes back to the login window. I’m using an ipad pro with the latest Cary app and hard wired network (Ethernet). My Macbook recognizes the DMS-700 in my network. Streaming and USB work fine. Any suggestions are welcome Thanks!
