Ohh ok, that'd work with the recent MOTU ? Interesting, that makes the Ultralite AVB worth a closer look. Would that mean i could, like, just attach an N-DAC 8 to the MOTU and see another 8 outputs in JACK ? Sorry if i sound a bit naive but i have no experience with network audio so far ... Cost-wise the difference isn't that much, no ? The AVB Ultralite is just about ~30 euros more expensive than the regular MK4 ... I mean, you might need an expensive switch, and eventually another DAC, but still, it seems to offer a good lot of flexibility, or the possibility just to plug in into an existing setup, etc ... i the end you'd probably end up in a price range not that far from other solutions ...
