RE: Ethernet to optical isolation converter questions. Help please

Hi,
If you're thinking that you should get the NAS away from the audio system, those were my thoughts as well. Mine has a 12v 4a wall-wort SMPS, and I'm about ready to get a LPS from Ebay even though it's in a different room. I have replaced every SMPS near or on the audio rack with a LPS, (that I could).

IME, this made an improvement in the SQ of the system. It was a noticeable, but not dramatic improvement, well worth the investment, considering that i may have bought a more expensive, 30+ ft CAT 7 or 8 cable. Now I have two TP-Link MC200cm's, 30ft of fiber, and 2 X 1ft CAT 7 Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors. I didn't even bother taking the 9v SMPSs out of the box as Jameco makes wall-wort style LPSs for $12ea that work great. I had borrowed an iFI $50 SMPS for the receiver, and the Jameco didn't sound any worse.

Total investment was just over $150. I did get a "deal" on the TP-Links at Amazon for $39ea.

Feel free to get in touch via email for more details if you're so inclined.
