Point of higher priced streamer?

No this will not work for me because I have 2 (maybe 3 DACs) that will be hooked up at the same time. The microRendu will be hooked up to 1 and an RJ45 will be the input on the second DAC. 

For my situation something like the Denafrips Giaa maybe better though I am not getting any of these things until I check out the stock streaming quality. 

The 2 DACs I hope to get are the AudioByte Hydra stack, which has the new HUB piece with RJ45 streaming input (some amazing tech on this stack). The other DAC is the Halo May KTE which is supposed to have a great USB input. I will also have the Benchmark DAC3B back but likely on my headphone rig unless I like it best.

You just got a reply from John Swenson in Audiophile Style. The designer himself. I suggest you read that reply in full. Meaning not just the first paragraph 

Don’t let anyone talk you into a $640 ethernet switch. If you need more ports just get a netgear or cisco. Actually you would be better off using a managed switch, setting up a VLAN and using port priority. You can get a managed switch under $100

ASR didn't "advocate " for a LPS you might want to read that thread a little closer. They said the microRendu worked as a roon endpoint but a better alternative was the SMS-200. They recommended using a LPS or a good SMPS .

What a douche!
