Interesting stuff John. A key question to me is: Which system architecture offers the best prospects - a renderer feeding an external DAC via USB or s/pdif, or a 'one-box' network player. With a network player the processor and network stuff must have an influence on the ground plane which will influence the DAC, as it's in the same box; you can lose that problem by putting the DAC in another box, but then as you point out, you get issues from the USB or s/pdif connection. So, which way of doing it is better in principle?
