Ozzy, here’s the link:

@ozzy I think your setup is the cleanest way to go. Fibre direct into the DAC. The X1 (I owned), X2, and a $42k Linn DAC  are the only 3 DACs I know of that have fibre going directly into the DAC. Why mess with that? The X1 was also one of the very best streamers I have heard. That fibre connection is top end.

If my third and last Sonore OpticRendu (streamer) dies the Lumin U2x (streamer no DAC) is what I am considering, or the new upgraded Sonore OpticalRendu,

mifanning thanks for the link.

I rarely play the music on my hard drive. I actually think the music from Qobuz sounds as good.

yyzsantabarbara,

I am at the stage that simpler is better, less cable, shelve space, etc.

I am using fiber with the Lumin X2 as I did with the X1. In my opinion it is a big upgrade sound quality wise over ethernet.

I have been using an EtherRegen for that conversion for many years, but they have constantly promised a newer EtherRegen "Gen 2" version. I don’t think it is gonna happen. So, my question is; Is there a newer/different unit that outperforms the Etherregen?
