I believe Daniel was referring to the above common scenario. DACs with Ethernet ports are less common and I defer to your knowledge of them.
The Devialet is a DAC with an ethernet port. All of my experience is with streaming from a server or computer to the Devialet over ethernet.
My experience is that source (server) -> ethernet cable with or without switch -> Devialet produces better results than source (server) -> USB cable -> Devialet.
