Michael Christ Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hey Mike, thx for your advice. Just received the Audioserver Premium, Vortexbox Uk using a tp link SFP. Already sounds marvelous. Nevertheless I will upgrade soon! many thx and kind greetings, Michael Link to comment
dm68 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi, I'm interested in getting the FTLX1475D3BTL but wanted to check if you know whether these are compatible with an Intel x520-da2 PCIe adapter card. Link to comment

R1200CL Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The Finisar SFP+ FTLX1475D3BTL works fine in opticalModule. I now have two modules added between my opticalRendu and EtherRegen. Inserting it into the $99 Mikrotik switch didn’t work very well. I can’t find a way to force it into 1 Gb. The opticalModule now uses the FTLX1475D3BTL, and Mikrotik using the 1421. That’s working.

Welcome to the club. Unfortunately, Finisar FTLX1475D3BTL doesn't work in my X2522 either. But it works well in the 10GTek. 😂 I don't understand why.

Have some fun and compare jitter against this 1421 data sheets I posted. Sorry for reviving this but I recently got the opportunity to purchase a (used) pair of Finisar FTLF1324P2BTV via eBay. I have compared them to the Planet MGB-TLX and the Planet's are out!

JonD Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Upgraded my network ahead of my EtherREGEN and bought a pair of Finisar SFP+ modules: FTLX1475D3BTL So my network is: Internet/NAS > Mikrotik CRS112-8G-4S-IN (FTLX1475D3BTL) > Commscope Optical Cable (FFWLCLC42-JXF020) > EtherREGEN (FTLX1475D3BTL) > dCS Bartok The Mikrotik has replaced an EE 8Switch and a BJC Cat6a cable. So my setup was already pretty good and it still sounds fantastic. Just need to summon up the courage to do an A/B comparison to see if there is an audible difference, because if its there in all honesty is fairly subtle. Superdad 1 Link to comment

Rsbrsvp Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 What makes FTLX1475D3BTL the best SFP module? I have read in another thread that the FTLF1321 has the lowest jitter measurement of any Finisar module. Much lower than the 3018 or 3024 but I do not know how it would compare to the 1475. mikicasellas 1 Link to comment
Rsbrsvp Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Is the FCBG110SD1CA5 Active Optical Cable (AOC) as good as the FTLX1475D3BTL? What is the difference? Link to comment

Because the 1475 is a 10GB module, it has by definition or specification an extremely low to none jitter. Also I think if you read the data sheet I posted several places, you will find the best jitter specs on the 1421 modules. Link to comment

Popular Post FrankMA Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 Received the Finisar SFP+ FTLX1475D3BTL from Mousser yesterday. It is between my OM Deluxe and the ER. No issues although the ER must boot up last. Replaced the FTLF1318PBTL Sounds very good cold out of the box.

Popular Post Johnnydev Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 I would like to bring this tread to your attention again. Some time ago I bought all 3 group buys from Adrian to try out here at home. I do not use the supplied OM, only the SFP+ modules and supplied optical cables between my 2 EtherRegens with a very good result in terms of sound quality. After some burn-in I can confirm that Adrian is spot on with his descriptions. At the moment I don't know yet what my final choice will be in my installation here at home, because I want to let them play here for a longer period of time to be able to make my choice. In any case, all three are worthy of recommendation. See the descriptions in terms of SQ from Adrian in the beginning of this tread. Also the AfterDark. Black River Series Constellation Network Cable Special Edition for EtherREGEN is certainly commendable. I have been using a 1 meter version for quite some time and now i even have a second one of 2 meters on order from Adrian because it suits it very well in terms of SQ AfterDark. and nichino 2 Link to comment
FrankMA Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 At 250 hours I ended up going back to the FTLF1318P3BTL. Was finding the FTLX1475D3BTL a bit harsh. The 1318 is a bit more liquid sounding in my system Will try the 1475 again later MAIN: Sonore Optical Module Deluxe/Farad Super 3 (7v) > Uptone EtherRegen/Farad Super 3(9v)/AfterDark Emperor Signature/Farad Super 3 (12v) > Innuos Zenith MKII SE (ER A) > ER (B) > Meitner MA-3 DAC > Ayre K-5xe MP Preamplifier > Ayre VX-5 Twenty Amplifier > Vandersteen Quatro Woods POWER: AQ Niagara 5000 > AQ (Hurricane)/Triode Wire Labs/Shunyata Python/Nordost Blue Heaven/Audience AU24 SE/Audio Sensibilities Sig Silver CABLING: Silversmith Audio Fidelium Speaker/Sablon Pantela Reserva 2020 Lan/Ghent JSSG360 Cat 6/AQ Earth & Pegasus/Aurelis Deuland 75ohm ISOLATION: Stillpoints/Symposium/IsoAcoustics/Herbie's/PS Audio Powerbase Link to comment
