Lmao, I love how @FreakyKiwi can read and summarise months of testing, discussions, formulation of falsifiable hypotheses etc... all in the space of 13 minutes! Mighty impressive who needs chatGPT??
We should get the guy to do the same with the cancer literature. He'll have it all cured and in our rear-view mirrors by next weekend?! ![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)

And thanks to @Jls too, I appreciate that you are trying to share your opinion in a cordial manner.
Unfortunately some of us think differently about audio - in short - bits are not bits the same way it is for an app download. If you go into details about how DACs function etc then you might uncover something that will open your line of thinking to other possibilities. Things like common mode interference for example. But I respect your choice if you feel have already got enough information to form a fixed opinion...
Just to elaborate on what you said too - yes error correction and buffering exist in the digital domain (mainly in asynchronous data transmission like Ethernet and USB). But there is no error correction in S/PDIF (only single bit error detection) and no buffering both over coax or optical...

Yes a few people have gone that route. It tends to work out well for them. However I went the air-gap route with a WLAN repeater in bridge mode that the lads on Ethernet sound proposed and tested... overall the cheapest/easiest to implementFiber media converter
