I just spent an hour reading this thread, instead of working. I am interested in how people would connect the DT to a music server via the 12S connection. 

In my current rig I have a powerful desktop computer running ROON, my music server. I send the music bits via Ethernet to my Sonare microRendu and from there, via a USB cable, to my Benchmark DAC3L. This same approach would work for the DT via USB. 

If I wanted to add the DT to my system, how would I connect the DT via I2S cable? Is there anything that takes Ethernet music bits and converts to an I2S format that the DT understands?

@david_ten Thanks for the info. I also do not want to do any conversions from USB to I2S. I was hoping for something that did Ethernet-to-I2S directly. Maybe the folks at Sonare read this and come up with a new Rendu offering? I am going to email them today.
