Yes, using 4G that's understandable that using a wireless protocol will be better, this is comparable to using a wi-fi extender to separate the dirty router end from the audio clean switch end and is more beneficial than just FMC alone, using a FMC on the clean side from switch to DAC gives an improvement with less hash and noise so more resolution overall. Why not try you internal network with a wi-fi extender and then FMC? Try to get that router with all your data traffic out of the equation.....

I've tried it that way - 4g router with FMC. It was a little bit better... without FMC

FMCs have their own distortions because of poor internal clocks.

No covers to remove just plug the SC-SC fibre cable into the available socket, how are you powering these modules, did you get the basic plug in the wall switched PSU's with the FMC's or are you using LPS's? They should both light up like a Christmas tree when working so you know they are powered up.

They light up yes I use a LPS at the DAC end. But.. I figured the "B" module should go at the DAC end, so will try to swap'em then. Thx for the tip

I'm sooo stupid.. Sorry guys!! Of course I had to add the new "zone" output, in Roon, since the FW upgrade to 1.42..
Works like a CHARM now!!
Thank you all for help and inputs!!

And woww.. The piano notes..

Ah yes another happy Fiber media convertor Convert!

Hi everyone. I installed the new update with tidal and no roon. Tidal connect works perfectly. Finally I can use tidal connect with my iPhone!!!
FW1.42 - Roon + Tidal HERE.

Awesome to hear. Does the FW change the sound at all?

Nope

How's the streaming function ?

Flawless At least using ROON

Something to note as well, as I have observed this. Power the Fiber to ETH module with a low noise dc psu, linear if cost is not a problem. Alternatively, power both FMCs with low noise psu's for better effect. I have done the latter and its quite noticable, smoother, less edgy sound.

But don't power both ends from the same PSU as you will be breaking the isolation.

Had this simple experiment a while back....Somebody told me the same thing...

So I powered my FMC on the dirty side on a different wall socket far away (thru an extention) with its SMPS. And powered the other FMC on the clean side with LPS on another different socket (in my room). Compared this with my previous setup powering both on the same LPS. Preferred the later by a mile.

Your experience may be different.

Edit: LPS is attached to a power conditioner.

No switch or fibre network: a cat6 (Monoprice AWG32) between my ROON/HQPlayer server and my A26. I only have an iFi iSilencer filter at the input and therefore no network power management.
Just a configuration with 2 ethernet : IPV4 for the external and IPV6 between the server and the player. A bit like if ethernet replaced USB
