on cumputeraudiophile thread it has been found that single-mode fibers "sounds" better than multi-mode fibers ; thus the MC110CSshould be prefered. Not a big deal anyhow.

you're right. No trouble to deal with audio files, even the biggest through 100Mb ethernet. That's why most of renderers have 100Mb ethernet interfaces.

tp-link FMC are delivered with a 9V PS, but can work witha 5V PS too

5V PS are usually more numerous & less expensive on the market.
Only the one next to the renderer is key, the other ones can keep their SMPS.
A 5.5mm*2.5mm plug works.
