Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?

Can this be done successfully with an adapter like this ? Or is there more required? Thanks

What you need is a USB to I2s converter. I use a LKS 100 into my Musetec 005 DAC. It's inexpensive but really performs. You need a RJ45/Ethernet cable 0.5m or less, 0.2m would be optimal because the signal strength is very low, 300mV I believe. https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/l-k-s-audio-usb-100-usb-audio-interface-pcm384-dsd512-i2s-rj45-hdmi-coaxial-out-dsd512-with-crystek
