RE: A similar route

NOS (or bit-perfect to the source) playback is fine. With the most common sigma delta converters, oversamplig is then done at chip level.
I also like NOS DACs. However, they have some limitation in the highs at redbook resolution.

With the Network Audio Adapter method I described earlier all computation is done by the PC source. Undoubtedly, there are some advantages to separate it from audio adapter. PC source does not need to be a dedicated machine anymore with undervolt/underclock. It can also be in a different room and easily remoted.
If it's required - especially with NOS DACs-, the PC source can use oversampling and employs extra DSP (like DRC or XO).

Ultimately, it depends on user's requirements and audio chain structure.
