Is fiber optic internet

@rivinyl 

I believe a fiber internet source alone does not inherently affect sound quality in audio streaming, as digital data transmission ensures bits arrive intact regardless of the medium.  We need others to respond.  

FYI - Fiber optics can reduce electrical noise, RFI, and EMI compared to copper connections by using light signals immune to electromagnetic interference. In high-end audio setups, this may lower the noise floor, improve timing precision, and yield a cleaner soundstage when using fiber media converters between network components.

Yes, a friend of mine put in a $20 fibre cable into his streamer and found an immediate improvement on his very expensive system ($200k). I have been using fibre from a network switch that converts Ethernet to fibre and then connects fibre to a Sonore OpticalRendu which converts to USB into my DACs.

At one time I had 3 low-cost network switches, 3 OpticalRendus, and 3 DACs in 3 rooms. I used ROON to control everything.

I prefer a network switch to do the conversion instead of the dedicated Ethernet to Fibre converters. Those failed on me several times, the network switches are rock solid (from $49 to $150 for my 3 switches)

Fibre cable is made of glass and cannot carry analog noise into a DAC like an Ethernet cable.

I moved from 800Mbps cable internet, running on a pfSense server to 10Gbps fiber, and immediately, the jitter measured only a fraction of what the cable had as well as latency.  Running a pfSense server on an old i7-4770 with 32GB RAM and Intel server NIC's is ridiculously overkill, but ill never need another router.  But I do need to update to better NIC's and switches to get anything over 1G speeds.

Not inherently cleaner, but immune  electrical surges 

Some report that while fiber optic reduces noise, it has a different, more 'sterile' sound.  I prefer good copper LAN cables cleaned of noise.  At least so far!:)

But I have gone to much effort to clean my copper ethernet, involving audiophile switches, filters and good copper LAN cables going into my streamer.
