yggdrasil dac and Innous Zenith MK2

Anyone out there using a yggdrasil dac with an Innous Zenith MK2 that would be willing to share their experience with that combination.  I've read mostly positive reviews of the yggdrasil, but none with a Zenith.  I'm currently using the Zenith with a NAD M12 pre/dac.  While the SQ is very good, I'm looking to sell the M12 and buy a tube pre amp.

Keep in mind the Yggdrasil USB input is designed in a way that will homogenize transport quality and sonics to a degree. I would opt for a digital transport that outputs S/PDIF via AES or BNC as an ideal mate for the Yggdrasil, avoiding USB and what amount to $3000 computers for audio purposes.

With the Zenith, USB is the only way.  I'm OK with that because I'm mostly interested in the DirectStream DAC.  But before I go that route, I was hoping to get feedback from anyone who might be using a Yggdrasil with a Zenith.

I'd look to find a dac that with a renderer can use ethernet with the Zenith

I use 2 ethernet cables now with mine, that's it. Cost me like $15 from BJA.

I use WireWorld Ethernet from the wall to the Zenith and WireWorld USB from the Zenith to the M12 pre/dac.
