Advantages:
-Synchronous to the DAC
-Offers software control of the DAC from the host source (Volume, etc…)
-Works at rates up to 32/768kHz and 4xDSD
-MQA decoding
-Roon endpoint
-Lower noise than most music servers or direct USB connections
Limitations:
-Only provides a medium level of isolation between the DAC and the typically noisy home network
-Prone to network issues
