@carlsbad - Cool Jerry, keep me posted on the EtherRegen results.
Thanks.
Optical Isolation
I have read many a discussion here on AG regarding digital but, I still need some further clarification on the best way to go.
Looking at the Sonore Optical Rendu, which only seems to be sold through Small Green Computer. It's advertised as a "network player and network streamer" which makes it sound like I do not need something like a BlueSound Node, an ifi Stream, an Innuos Zen or the equivalent, or do I?
At present, I have a DAC and only want to stream music. I've had a Roon Nucleus in the past and enjoyed it, but only wish to use Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify or Amazon Music at the point in time.
It sounds like optical isolation is the way to go. I just want a simple, clean & quiet set-up, so any advice on this would greatly be appreciated, thanks!

@carlsbad - Ya, it helps if you read the instructions first...lol If you twin up the ER, let us know the results. @sns - "Not sure I'm totally understanding" Well, that makes two of us! Could you elaborate on this: "One thing not often mentioned is running Roon with embedded HQPlayer" and this "but one needs server with OpticalRendu" I would just be listening to say Tidal, be it on a computer or W.H.Y. Someone needs to write a book on this subject with some good illustrations to boot..

@sns - well, that was easy, thanks! Any thoughts on the EtherRegen switch as carlsbad is trying out, or the coax connection as kijanki is suggesting? |
@sns - OK, thanks. I’ll try what I can and will continue to read yours and other’s posts here to try and gain more knowledge on this subject. |
@sns - I was now considering purchasing a ALLO DigiOne Signature music player. What would be the best way to optically isolate this unit? Would an optical Rendu work in this case? Thanks! |
@sns - 👍 |
@erik_squires - ah Eric, always the voice of wisdom, couldn't agree more. People go on & on about all this stuff in many threads about streaming. But they all know what they're talking about, buy the majority of us don't. It's all just Greek to me!

@erik_squires -I meant to say the voice of reason but your wisdom is also much appreciate! |
@abnerjack - Interesting, which one do you have? |
