Article: UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Review and Comparison

I do not think this is off topic, but if so my apologies.

 

If a DAC had a fibre optic input, like the Lumin X1, would something like the eR be needed? Assuming you used a good fibre switch from you router, such as this one.

 I am debating between the following 2 DAC's:

 

1) Mola Mola Makua or Tamaqui DAC  (plus 1 of)

  a. RJ45 streaming + eR

  b. USB streaming + Sonore Signiture Rendu SE Optical 

 

2) Lumin X1 with fibre optic streaming.

 

I have limited experience in this but my understanding is that the fibre optical cable eliminates all analog noise that can cause degradation in sound.
