My microRendu is sold, in the end I couldn't be bothered to compare the two/I kept postponing it so I decided to just sell it as I'm happy with the sMS-200. Hope I won't regret it, which might happen when some tweak/mod or manufacturer upgrade is issued. On the other hand SoTM is working on a clock upgrade for the sMS-200 somthey're not sitting still either.
All is tidy again, no more fiber ethernet cable running down the stairs etc. It took me several hours but I've decided to let it run on top of my suspended acoustical ceiling. While I was at it I've run two fiber cables the same route and replaced the living room switch with one of the new pair of FMC's (and SFP modules) I ordered last week. When the need arises for one or more additional ethernet ports in the living room I'll simply comnect the switch to the FMC.
Also I've earthed the AC outlets in my home office/study.
Waiting for two Supra CAT8 cables, when these are delivered I'll test the EMO systems LAN isolator in several spots (between router and switch and inline in the connection between the music server and FMC).
Planning to test a Windows 2012 R2 server installation again with the Audiophile Optimizer (AO) software. Still have a license for version 1.4 (though I might update to version 2 for <40 swiss francs later) so why not try it.
