Does Anyone Currently Make an Ethernet to I2S Renderer?


Currently looking at devices to have audio bypass laptop controlling with JRiver. I have been using an Oppo 105 out to SPDIF. Certainly sounds better than laptop USB, but has its limitations. I know of many good devices from Ethernet to USB, where I have an Amenero input (with its own power). But since my DAC has two I2S inputs (rj47 and hdmi hardware), I guess that would be a better option, if available.  I have a large music collection on a NAS and am very happy using JRiver and controlling by phone.

Melm I wouldn’t get too hung up about not being able to use i2s though very good I’ve used these inputs and outputs over the past four years with PS Audio , Denafrips , Rockna and just recently with AudioByte .

A very recent purchase completely changed my mind about many things about digital playback especially the level of sound quality that I’m experiencing now.

With the number of converters , re-clockers and separate power supplies on the market today there are a couple one box solutions that stand out head and shoulders above the rest the Innuos Phoenix and Ideon Audio’s Master Time either model would really step up the performance of your lap top Nas and Oppo with a SPDIF converter to USB or Ideons Absolute Time with SPDIF and USB inputs and outputs.


RE: Cal3713 ,..That is quite the response you got from Benjamin Zwickel ,

Sure what would the average consumer know however if i2s is so unworthy used as a chassis to chassis connection why would these component designers use it and promote i2s if it has such a negative result on a their component’s overall performance ?  that I don’t get.
Reading Mr. Zwickel response to your question Cal3713 really set him off to call his competition names like that .

I no longer use i2s not because I felt there was something wrong about it , the change over to using USB came only after a dealer then a home demonstration of a new digital front end and if I were to change my current dac MOJO would be one of the few I would consider..
