Are you using the L22 as a DAC?
If so, given that the L22 has word clock, you should clock-sync the TP
to the L22 so that the L22 is the master clock and is controlling the

So network streaming should be better.

Jitter is lowest for streaming (17ps), and higher for s/pdif (50+ ps
depending on the source).
S/PDIF is a unidrectional connection which transmits clock and data
together, which is why the clock is subject to degradation.
In contrast, the network is _only_ a data connection. The clock is
