I went the path with Ethernet optimization (Optical module, Etherregen, expensive LPS, expensive ethernet cables, ...) as well, but the Zen beats it easily for a fraction of the money.
More expensive external solutions are even better.
My experience is the same as Vivialet. Tried several solutions and settled with aes/ebu input.
lps farad super 3, cheap low power computer with volumio, denafrips gaia reclocker.
Hi @jbp,
many thanks for the information shared. Have never heard about denafrips reclocker.
Will take a look at
