Sonore opticalModule Deluxe v2, best FMC available, especially with a linear power supply. Any single mode fiber cable will do. Your Finisar SFPs are first rank.

By what metric?
I’m using the Teradak OCXO FMC and it’s phenomenal.

TeraDak OCXO user here as well since last year. Works great and no need of separate power supply.

Looks pretty good.
I don’t see much of a difference internally to warrant an extra $200 over the Teradak.
I guess the pretty case is nicer.

The opticalModule Deluxe was designed by John Swenson, who also designed the Uptone EtherRegen. The oMD v2 is an updated and improved version of the EtherRegen's optical converter. Yes, it is the best FMC.

Where did you buy yours?
I googled for it and found nothing.
Did you use it for the clean side I assume?

Thanks but I don't need a FMC, with my Nighthawk set to WAP and having a dedicated SFP port, I'm able to connect my Rose directly to fiber with zero ethernet in the chain. The Rose has a SPF port...doing this, and feeding the Nighthawk a 19v 5A linear power supply creates an incredibly clear, artifact free and organic presentation.

My question was more about whether I can improve on the Finisar/ CommScope combo. Maybe not.

@ deleeh .. I think it's the Teradak ts212

I saw a couple on aliexpress

Hello,
What modem are you using when you have the Nighthawk X10 in use?
The Nighthawk X10 looks good, I still have the Nighthawk XR 500, but unfortunately the modem from Draytek is causing problems.

This is my current setup:

I think better to use LPS on cleaner side than battery pack.

I believe you would benefit from a switch between the access point and network player. The new and improved EtherRegen is expected to have fiber ports on both A and B side.
IME, an ethernet connection beats wi-fi for sound quality, and fiber is best, if running cable is an option.

doesn’t have the higher end components that the Teradak or LHY does. Don’t really care who designed it.

Kam Audio.
Yup on the clean side.

He doesn’t need it.
He has fiber going from router directly to streamer. Plus who wants to wait 45 more years for the Ether regen 2 lol
