Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch

Not sure about their setups that claim thin sound, or what optical they are using. 

I am using this setup based on feedback here and at WBF. I have Innuos Zenith Mk3 with LessLoss Echo's End Dac with LL Fire Wire 640X. No this sound here also has a LPS for the Optical Converters. 

Hello @mdrone,  I was concerned with the thin or lean comments on the fibre conversions, as well as adding two more power supplies.

I went with a M12 switch and Optimo 3 power supply, both from JCAT.

Stunning improvement.  The switch can be placed just in front of the streamer, or for me I needed it between my modem, Nucleus, and Supra cat 8 runs to each audio room.

optical in my system does not sound lean at all, very rich relaxed sound, detail presented very well, not forced - cleaning up digital nasties improves midbass and bass in my experience

I hadn’t heard that about the optical package being dry or thin - I would’ve been hesitant as well. Agree with the above - relaxed and rich sounding. My experience as well in addition to much less noise which was plaguing my system. 

For those experiencing thin or dry SQ from optical I too have experienced this. The issue may arise in some systems due to incompatibility with generic FMC and/or SMPS or lesser quality LPS. Upgrading to Sonore OpticalModules with nice LPS will solve this issue.

And then we have optimizing of these modules or any optical converter or device, this https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/62352-finisar-sfp-modules-for-audio-grade-network-switch-group-buy-for-audiophilestylecom/#comments

I just purchased the two reference grade Constellation cables with the Finisar enterprise grade optical transceivers.  These will install into Sonore OM and OR, I'll soon discover the efficacy of these!
