Network Switches

First delivery is scheduled for November 15. Having said this, based on an AudiphileStyle post yesterday, Alex from UpTone shipped 35 units yesterday. So 35 people will likely get them tomorrow (Saturday, November 9).

I am in the first batch, but it does not appear I will be amongst the first 35 recipients.

I can help you understand, although it’s self explanatory.

ultraRendu has optical input. So you need a fiber cable to feed it. So you ‘turn around” the EtherRegen.

I am not the sharpest tool in the toolbox so I still do not get it. I think you may have wanted to say opticalRendu instead of ultraRendu, Sonore states as "Cable Ethernet Input to USB-Audio Output". 

Whatever, the case, I will figure it out and I will buy this EtherREGEN since it is an obvious business expense for my office network.

Thanks for your effort in explaining.  Don't worry about further explanations I will give a call EtherREGEN and figure it out over email or phone.

My bad. I meant opticalRendu

Happy to help further if I can:

What part of it you need help with? the connection part, or the functionality, what brings to the table for those who have the opticalRendu?

@thyname When I originally read about the EtherREGEN it was 3AM. Now that I had my 2 hours of sleep I looked at this again with full mental agility. :)

It seems the question I need answering is what goes into the streaming endpoint in the EtherREGEN + OpticalRendu flow, is it USB or RJ45?

You get Ethernet (copper) from router / main switch into the B side of EtherRegen

Then you buy a SFP fiber transceiver for EtherRegen (it has a FMC port, but not the transceiver). Something life the one at the bottom of this page ($20):

You put that transceiver into the one port on EtherRegen located on side A.

Then you run a fiber cable from that EtherRegen FMC port on side A to your opticalRendu

Then USB cable from your opticalRendu to the USB input of your DAC
