Audiophile Digital Optical Technology is a British company that designs and builds precision optical fiber connection systems for the isolation of high-end audio devices using fiber optic components which are carefully optimized for Hi-Fi use. The company’s plug n’ play optical fiber upgrade kits introduce high-quality fiber in place of the noisy copper found in Ethernet connections, effectively isolating Hi-Fi systems from interference. The kits are placed between residential routers and Hi-Fi systems, and allow the technology to isolate audio networks from residential networks.
The ADOT project is led by Melco Audio’s Surrey-based UK and European distributor, ADMM, to optimize the functionality of audio over fiber. ADOT technology is fundamentally straightforward: the Ethernet cable from the router, which normally connects to data switches feeding Hi-Fi systems, is “broken” by the insertion of a media converter which converts copper to fiber,, before the data is converted back to copper, but without any noise or interference.
Three ADOT kit options are available: MC01 Kit 1, 2 and 3. Each comprises a MC01 media converter, a 1.5 m Duplex fiber cable, plus a matched pair of Duplex SFP fiber adapters. The MC02 kit adds a linear power supply and the MC03 kit adds a custom-built PLiXiR low-noise power supply with three-stage noise reduction.
The kits are based around ADOT’s MC01 media converter, which converts the (copper) RJ45 Ethernet cable from the router, to a high-quality SFP fiber connection. Streaming devices already equipped with an SFP input, such as the Melco Audio S100 data switch, can readily accept the fiber connection, however, other devices can also benefit, simply by adding a second MC01 media converter linked via optical fiber cable.
