I use both the Network and the USB cards. What a difference they make to just using the motherboard slots. If you do decide to go for them make sure you get the ones with the upgraded clocks.
I'm in process of discovery via new streamer. Using network xe card at present, next will be usb xe. Will be comparing vs motherboard ports as I go along. Have no doubt JCAT cards will be far superior, advantages of better power supplies and filtering on these cards.
I'm powering my custom build streamer via Optimo S ATX and JCAT nework card with Uptone JS2, Optimo is one amazing LPS!
