Is ethernet output a possibility for the Innuos Zen MK3


I've searched these forms and reached out to Innuos but haven't received a response.  Is there anyone using the ethernet streamer port out to a DAC and if so, are there any tricks to make it work.  I have tried to no avail.

 

Thank you for your help,

Gary

Thank you Carlsbad2.  I was sure I had read that someone had used ethernet out to a dac from it but maybe I'm mistaken.  

Just an update...Here's the response I received from Innuos:

Ethernet and USB are very different outputs, it's not just a matter of changing cables. If you want to connect via Ethernet, this means the ZEN works only as a server and sends the file for the Gustard to play. This is done via a protocol called UPnP. You can turn the Zen into a UPnP server by going to Sense App > System > Settings > UPnP. Choose the Native UPnP option. However, this way you won't be able to use Sense for playback, you will need an app such as BubbleUPnP on Android or mConnect on iPhone/iPad to browse and play your music - or if the Gustard has a app then use the recommended app from Gustard.

It's well reported that ethernet is the best input for the R26.  My mistake was thinking the second ethernet port must be an output.

Could I put a connect a switch to the Zen MK3 and output from that switch to the DAC as a work around?
