I am using the opposite sides on the ethereRegen. The ethernet cable goes into the B side. The fiber on the opposite A side.

Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
Putting a 2nd-hand EtherRegen before my Innuos Zenith Mk3 has probably been the single best upgrade I've made. Like most others' experiences, the shift away from a digital sound has been palpable.
I'm feeding the ER directly from my Netgear Orbi mesh satellite through a Wireworld Starlight ethernet cable. I was wondering, however, if anyone has experienced significant gains from feeding the ER with fiber into its SFP port?
I did assume initially that as the ER is a regenerator the quality of the input shouldn't matter that much. But as I saw another jump when upgrading the ER's input cable it's set me to wondering about optical.

In case there's been misunderstanding here, currently I'm doing: router => RJ45 A-port => RJ45 B-port => Innuos Zenith RJ45 I'm curious about: router => FMC RJ45 => Fiber => ER SFP A-port => RJ45 B-port => Innuos Zenith RJ45 The Fiber package I have my eye on is from ADOT, which contains an FMC, cable and a pair of SFP adapters: https://hifiplus.com/articles/adot-mc01-kit-2-fibre-ethernet-conversion-kit/ |
I have used it and it makes a difference keeping noise on the dirty end the media converter too makes a difference . I use the excellent Linear Tube Audio LPS which makes a noticeable improvement to the regen, and comes with a excellent DC cable , I should mention a decent power cord like the Pangea sig mk2 is good for a Pc not too expensive. Little green computer sells respectable LPS power supplies for the router ,and converter Ethernet to fiberoptic it all counts is sonics, weak link in the chain . Iuse a combo motorola 8702 which makes a nice improvement , uses the faster docsis 3.1 |
