Yes had assumed it was the higher up (Mhz+) frequencies that are of concern, but it is interesting and motivates me to proceed with trying with 5x thicker copper foil as I was already planning.

By obsessed is this the sort of thing you had in mind? Stock footage from the BT measuring escapade a month back 😅
The next version of my shields will have 0,5 mm copper and, I think, different grounding.

Won't be easier to shield it with lead?

Lead is effective when we deal with heavy particles. I guess that's not our case :)
It will put the R26 at weight division of the DACs of Audio-GD. :L3000:

I using R26 for about a month and very happy with the result (it replaced a Denafrips Venus II).

Using LAN input with Jplay app and, lasly, Wifi+FMC implementation: [Wifi extender --> Cat6 --> FMC+Finisar1471+LPS --> Cat8 --> iSilencer --> R26]
This brought more happiness to my life!!! Thank you guys!!!

If you'll allow me I have a question about fiber cable. I'm using only 1m of a generic Chinese single mode fiber. There are some opportunity here to improve SQ?
Some premium fiber cable can do some more for the final result?

@LucianoBadoe I and others have tried this with great success. That being said make sure your FMC modules can accommodate such a cable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224049924591
This is not very helpful, as I have neither tried it, nor recall the particular model, but Corning optical cables are often highly recommended by folk who've done a lot of SFP and optical cable rolling. Safer to run with @duffer5 's first hand recommendation. Though a quick google, or review on AudiophileStyle will throw up some Corning recommendations.

I've read good things about that Finistar cable duffer5 suggested.

One question though, why cat8 out of the FMC?

I have 4 Finisar packs, including the Finisar AOC cable that @duffer5 recommended to you, and which is very good.
I get the best sound with the pack Finisar FTLX1475 SFP single mode, and I recommend them to you.

Používam R26 asi mesiac a som veľmi spokojný s výsledkom (nahradil Denafrips Venus II).

Použitie vstupu LAN s aplikáciou Jplay a, bohužiaľ, implementáciou Wifi+FMC: [Wifi extender --> Cat6 --> FMC+Finisar1471+LPS --> Cat8 --> iSilencer --> R26]
Toto mi prinieslo viac šťastia do života!!! Vďaka chlapi!!!

I would like to know how to run JPLAY FEMTO over LAN on R26? For me the best sound so far LPSU>Pc>DC Purifier>Ifi USB Power>Purifier3>U18>(I2S Tubulus Contentus)>R26

Sorry, I didn't notice that I copied the text in my language and not in English in the translator. My fault.
