In Reply to: We'll be making an Ethernet DAC later next year. posted by Charles Hansen on November 2, 2008 at 20:37:22:
Just to note, you can use NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices with either a USB DAC or an Ethernet DAC.
And a soundcard has no relation to either one of these. A soundcard puts the DAC inside the computer, which is a *terrible* place to put it. You couldn't invent an environment with more RFI pollution if you tried.
