The ADOT project is led by Melco Audio’s Surrey-based UK and European distributor, ADMM, to optimise the functionality of audio over fibre. Streaming devices already equipped with an SFP input, such as the Melco Audio S100 data switch, can readily accept the fibre connection, however, other devices can also benefit, simply by adding a second MC01 media convertor linked via optical fibre cable. The kits are based around ADOT’s MC01 media convertor, which converts the (copper) RJ45 Ethernet cable from the router, to a high-quality SFP fibre connection. The kits are placed between residential routers and hi-fi systems, and allow the technology to isolate audio networks from residential networks. The company’s plug ‘n’ play optical fibre upgrade kits introduce high-quality fibre in place of the noisy copper found in Ethernet connections, effectively isolating hi-fi systems from interference. Melco makes a number of well regarded music servers as well as an audiophile Ethernet switch (Melco S100Audiophile Dataswitch), and Ethernet cables.ĪDOT recently released a number of Media Converters, purported to improve on the basic TP-Link kind of device.ĪDOT’s technology optimises the functionality of audio over fibre. What more is needed?Įnter ADOT (Audiophile Digital Optical Technology), a new company with a direct connection to Melco Syncrets in Japan.
After all, using fiber to galvanically isolate the noisy network side from the susceptible analog/hifi side is accomplished by inserting that fiber link. One has to wonder how this kind of device, a fiber media converter, can be improved upon. With a pair of TP-Links, you get Ethernet In > Fiber Out > Fiber cable > Fiber In > Ethernet Out. In most cases, you need a pair because there aren’t many hifi devices that offer fiber input.
Simple - a fiber media converter takes an Ethernet input and converts it to a fiber optic output, thus eliminating the possibility of electrical noise getting into your hifi via an Ethernet cable. Companies like TP-Link offer a number of options in the $20/each price range that do the job just fine. Network audiophiles have been using fiber media converters for years.
