Ethernet tweak

[branokantor]

At first glance, your diagram looks like a good starting point.
In my experience equipment at the 'dirty' side is less influential on sound quality so you can generally get away with more ordinary stuff.
When choosing the Teradak 212 SFP version your cables need to be chosen along with the SFP you choose to use with it. This also affects the choice of converter at the 'dirty' side, because they need to play together...

Cheers, Hans.

Thanks for the quick response. I also thought about the 211 version, but there everything is together in one chamber, which means a greater possibility of influencing EMI (for both types, I can imagine a better LPS implemented).

I'm really sorry, but can you tell me more simply, or give specific types or examples?

I don't use Teradak 212.

And the SQ results are ok? Did the quality progress in such a configuration?

Interesting approach to use a powerbank!
How often do you have to charge it?

Hans.

Hi Hans

Roughly after 2 days.

Page one of this topic has already a lot of examples. The Teradak unit basically puts a linear power supply, the optical converter and an upgraded clock module all in one enclosure, but other than that it is very similar to my setup which has these parts in separate enclosures. I simply upgraded the clock by replacing the built in crystal for a better oscillator. Works magic.

Hi Torben,

I've been thinking about powering my Innuos (9V-24V 3A) with a battery or a power bank for a long time.

Hi Brano

I think you can use this cable (DC 5,5 mm x 2,5 mm)

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B9FDZX7P/

I have been using it my switch and my router

But, check what is needed with your Innuos.

I have been very pleased with the TeraDak T-S212 in my system. I am adding an additional filter the English Electric EE1 on the dirty side ahead of the T-S212 to see how this effect the noise floor (if at all) . @ $295.00 USD it is a fairly inexpensive experiment and with I will have a 30 day return window.

your wiring diagram is fantastically accurate and you make our work easier by finding out and trying
(of course one cannot avoid this, but one can narrow down the selection to verified information)

If I were to make a combination of your info + my intention:
LevelOne GVT-2000 + battery + 2xfinisar + commscope teraspeed os2 + teradak t212 ... so I could achieve good results?

Hi,
That's great, that's what I wanted to hear.
What opto converter do you have before the Teradak 212?

I have several SFP I am using. And my 212 is feeding into 10/100/1000Base-PoE slot Tx to 1000Base-LX with SFP Port Media Converter, AC 100V~240V or DC 5~12V optional (qsfptek.com) I am using Finisar SFP's FTLX1475D3BCL, FTLF1318P3BTL, FCBG110SD1C03, and 1c01

Hi Torben,

the more I research the issue and your diagram, the more I start to like your solution.
Is it possible to use FMC LevelOne GVT 2000 on both sides without losing quality?
Respectively, why did you use Cisco Meraki Go GS110-8 on the dirty side?
Are your devices upgraded? For example, a better clock or so?

Hi Brano

There is no need to use it on both sides. I don't know why you want do that.

No, I don't use a better clock, no need for that.

Just make sure your have a GOOD Ethernet cable on the last mile - from FMC to streamer/DAC

More boxes are not always the answer. Prefer to simplify the chain with quality components. What is the issue you are having.

My goal is to deliver a cleaner, better signal to streamers. At the moment I only have a direct connection: router - streamer. I want to include a device to improve the signal: router - SOMETHING - streamer. And I like the DIY home solution. That's why I ask and find out the possibilities and experiences of other members, what actually works and what they have verified and tried.
For example, I was looking at our devices that are in your lineup. Some are hard to find (I don't know why...they are standard things). So I have to find some alternatives, but of the same quality.

Hi Brano

Just let me know what you can't find and I will see if I can help you.

Have to go now - I am back online tomorrow.

hi guys,
would this also be a solution? My Internet signal provider told me that it does not support any device that has both optical input and output. BUT ... if I could find a smart IT guy who is a pro, he might be able to configure the new streamer to make it work.

No, this would not be a good solution.
You do not want to connect your Teradak straight to the internet like that, with no way to reach it from your internal network because of your router having a separate network.
Also, this would make your ISP have to supply 2 IPs which most of them don't do or charge you more.
IMHO it is best to stick with your original plan.

Cheers, Hans.
