Innuos Zenith ripper/streamer

[Music or sound]

I got finally ethernet working via UPnP (streamer out) using AK connect 2.0 on my iPad and it worked well up to 96kHz. 192kHz files ended up as 96 too. The sound quality was good with my decent but cheap Tera Grand CAT-7 but USB sounded so much better in any respect.
I guess I will be not pursuing ethernet connections and be staying happily with USB (and Innuos also suggested that USB should be the better sounding connection option).

Is a review of a DAC that has both USB and Ethernet inputs and was used with an Innous Zenith Mk2. Interestingly, the reviewer reckons Ethernet was the clear winner. Must be an issue on the DAC side  :huh:

I read that too and the quality of any connection is not only dependent on the sender but also the receiver. Devialet's USB input got through CI board significant better but I am also thinking that UPnP is not the best way to transmit data. So if there would another option for an ethernet direct (which I would like to be Roon independent) ethernet could become better than USB.
