Hi,
Wanted to ask if there is any merit to the thinking at Sonore about having a streaming endpoint separated from the music server via an optical cable. The idea being that the fiber line prevents transmission of any RF noise from the "dirty" computer server to the streaming endpoint / DAC. This would be in comparison to a PI hat streamer, where everything is sandwiched in a box and is usually outputting Coax.
If there is merit to the thinking, would it be much different running a PI Streamer that outputs optical? It's sort of the same concept, although the streaming endpoint is getting the "dirty" RF, but at least the DAC isn't?
Thanks!
