Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?

Have you updated the firmware?

Sorry to hear about your problems. You have such a great system. I am a big advocate of Aurender. I highly recommend you switch. With Aurender I just plugged my two Aurenders into my wall wart extenders… logged on to it with my iPad. No glitches, hiccups or difficulty at all. This is why you buy a separate streamer. Just like a preamp or Phonostage.

PM me if you want to talk offline. This kind of frustration should be left to the computer world. I just turn on my streamer… choose an album and listen… like my vinyl, or a CD. With the same fidelity.

+1 Aurender, it never skips a beat. I use mine with the USB/12s converter box.

The NT-505 will work just fine with a WiFi extender providing the extender is getting a clean and constant signal from your router which based on your photos and comments is in another room.  How far away from the router is the extender and in what direction.  Also how many walls are between the router and extender?  If the extender is not getting a clean and constant signal from the router is won't matter which brand of streamer you replace it with.  I ran an NT-505 for over three years in two different rooms with an extender but in both cases the extender had a reasonable line of sight to the router.  Ultimately your only clean solution may be to pay someone to run a line from the room where your router is to behind your audio gear with wall jacks on both ends. 

Also if you want to use a DDC to convert and output from a streamer to a DAC then you need to buy a DAC with a standard I2s input like Denafrips, Holo and others and not RJ45 as that is likely proprietary to Sonnet.

The WiFi extender for my system is located the floor below my router and on the opposite side of the house… so I am thinking 55’ horizontally or so. Works flawlessly.
