Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch


I am running a SGC sonic transporters i5 with a Bricasti M5 streamer and M3 Dac.

Thinking of trying to upgrade the sound a bit.  I wonder what is the most cost effective way; linear power supply vs network switch vs the optical unit from SGC.

Any thoughts?

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!

Yep, the JCAT items all top flight products, using Optimo S ATX LPS on my custom build streamer, $6k, provides three rails all with 30amp capability, major, major contributor to awesome streaming.

 

Also, see Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines review of Sonore Signature Rendu   Quite the opposite of thin and dry. 

 

I'm of a view we are still in discovery phase of network optimization, new products coming out all the time.

@sns you seem to be really high on these guys from Hong Kong at After Dark. ??

@jerryg123  Not really, never owned or tried prior to this purchase. By the way Finisar is US company out of Sunnyvale California.

@sns well their products are made in Mylasia at least that is what the picture from the guys in Hong Kong are showing. I do not really care where it is made as long as it works...
