I'm going with the Cisco AOC. Sounds like more my flavor. Already picked up a HdPlex 300w lps for the Roon Rock/FMC's. Just waiting on a ER'2 to complete the chain.Here's a glowing local endorsement of the Cisco AOC from a previous Finisar SFP user.

I'm trying to do the FMC mod for my R26 so I ordered the equipment linked in m-i-c-k-e-y's post above. I now just noticed that the 10Gtek OS2 LC to LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 0.5m that I received is a dual cable instead of having a single cable like the one that's showing in the picture.So my Fiber Optic media converter arrived today consisting of:
10Gtek Gigabit Fiber Media Converter w/ Pair of Bidi SFP Singlemode Simplex LC Module (Kit #5)
10Gtek OS2 LC to LC Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 0.5m
TOPPING P50 LPS
USB Type A Male to 90 Degree Barrel Connector Charging Cable 5.5 x 2.5mm DC 5V 80cm
Veetop Ethernet LAN Cat 8 RJ45 Cable 0.25
Initial Impressions: Uplift in resolution, separation, blacker background, a bit more analog(?) to my system.
Verdict: For 220Eur total, yes a keeper.
Pics or did not happen:
I found the problem, this noise comes from the internal clock, when i select “external clock” from the menu - sound dissapearsSome R26 transformers do this, mine did/does - if you are referring to a buzz that is emitted from the R26 chassis not from the speakers.
My Puritan power conditioner helped a lot which I put down to its DC blocking amongst other things. Quieter now so I can only hear it up close, originally it was audible from a few metres away.
This noise comes from the internal clock, when i select “external clock 10 mhz” from the menu, sound disappears. So probably something is wrong with the internal clock.Turn the dial button either direction just a single click (clockwise or counterclock wise)
.
Can I mod the dual cable to having just one cable or do I need to buy a different cable?
Okay, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the reply!Split them apart...like on the pic. And use only one
Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately I couldn't get the setup to work with my Roon. Roon couldn't find my R26 with the FMC mod, so I had to switch back to my previous setup without the FMC which luckily works normally. Hmm, I'll try to get it working again tomorrow.
Try exchanging position (before or after FMC) of your DeLOCK 62619 which would work best for you. It has a slight improvement (DeLOCK) but its there.

I just checked and my router does not see the R26 with the FMC mod.FMC mod works with my ROON ROCK does your router see the R26 with the FMC mod?
This may seem silly but did you remember to remove the protective covers from the optical cableI just checked and my router does not see the R26 with the FMC mod.
Below is a picture of my FMC mod setup. Any ideas what’s wrong?
Yeah, that I did! But my knowledge on the issue is very minimal so it’s good that you started with the basics!This may seem silly but did you remember to remove the protective covers from the optical cable
