ADOT (Audiophile Digital Optical Technology) is a new company with a direct connection to Melco Syncrets in Japan, specialising in optical fibre upgrade kits for better sound quality when streaming music over networks. ADOT’s technology optimises the functionality of audio over fibre. The company’s plug ‘n’ play optical fibre upgrade kits introduce high-quality fibre 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.
