Sonore opticalModule Deluxe

[Markus8]

Has anyone experience with placing the OM next to a WiFi router causing a drop in sound quality or is the case / shielding sufficient enough to avoid any interference ?

 

@dancauseHow did. the performance evolve in the meantime and what are your experiences so far?

I guess also with the right LPS and cable the new OM will perform amazingly well. Getting mine finally tomorrow :)

I received my new Sonore opticalModule Deluxe this week. I'm shocked how much RF/EMI noise it removed—big reduction of harshness, lower noise floor, better detail, more mid-bass oomph. Given it replaced a $20 TP-Link FMC, I shouldn't be that surprised, but it again shows the music-destroying pervasiveness of noise in listening chains coming from places you might not suspect. Nicely done, Sonore!

exciting to see that there is such a great improvement over a generic FMC. 
 

btw: does Sonore recommend single mode oder multimode connection ?

Maybe @JohnSwensoncan provide some insights into what improvements of V2 have been made to get a better sound quality.

Is there actually a recommended burnin time by Sonore?

Just keep power on it so the oscillator will settle in.

Thank you. Regarding placing the OM respectively also the ER ( @Superdad), is it a problem to place it next to the ISP WiFi router?

Ethernet out or optical out? 

There is a Ethernet connection between the ISP WiFi router and the OM. From there optical fiber to the ER. And then Ethernet again to a LUMIN streamer.

Some users report a better sound quality when using singlemode (also in combination with ER). What are your experiences here?

So when connecting the new Optical Module Deluxe v2 to the EtherRegen what SFP is recommended? Currently got the Finisar and multimode that Sonore ships.
