Innuos Zen with Ayre EX-8 Network/Ethernet Streaming profile


I am trying to see if anyone has gotten their Ayre EX-8 or equivalent to work with Innuos Zen via ethernet streaming side for use with Sense App (I don't have them yet to try out, and trying to move away from Roon). 

On support site it states:

6. You can now choose a profile for that player. Profiles are configuration sets to adapt to the specific features of each network streamer. The Default profile is a generic profile that is limited to playing back up to 16bit/48KHz to work with the majority of streamers. Check on the list of a specific profile exists for your network streamer. If it doesn’t, you can contact Innuos Support so we can try and produce one for your device. The profile list is updated from our cloud server when your system reboots so new profiles are being added without the need to install software updates.

I contacted Innuos and they stated:
We do not have a profile specifically for Ayre at the moment, but you can try choosing from the existing profiles to see how they perform anyway. Failing that it, if your Ayre has a USB input then this would be preferable, as this is the most optimal way to run the Innuos and give you the full benefits of our own player engine and full format resolution compatibility.

I'd rather stay away from USB and keep it on network streaming. And seems simple DLNA profile (and since Ayre uses Mconnect I'm assuming the ConversDigital chip/etc which a ton of streamers use):
Network: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz
PCM 16, 20, 24 bits
DSD64 (as DoP)

128x128kray

So quick follow up. Have to say Innuos support is great and fast. Got a response:

Indeed, try the profiles and see which works best. Please let us know if you have further problems and we can see what we can do for better compatibility with Ayre via UPnP bridge.

Using USB will still work with Sense app and is the original intended connection mode - you can also leverage our own player engine rather than the network one in the Ayre this way, and gets benefits from RAM buffering in-memory playback etc. So, whilst it would be one extra cable, the sonic benefits may greatly justify it.

So it seems you don't get the benefits of the Innuos secret sauce using Ethernet, even though they isolate the port etc. Interesting...
