Wow, interesting comments there from Mojo. And that was a private email to you, cal?
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.
