Well a stand alone DAC with an Ethernet connection is called a music streamer with a DAC.

The streamer converts packetized internet signal to digital bit stream. This process if done correctly requires a high level of sophistication and a box.... is a stand alone component. The DAC then converts the digital bitstream into a line. Level analog signal that can be amplified in the analog realm. Done correctly it requires high level of sophistication and a box. They can be combined... but usually there are compromises. 
Bricasti seemed to of gotten it right though. Many have said they preferred the internal renderer option to an outboard option. 
I have a Bricasti M1SE with the ethernet module. After the MDx board upgrade, and in my humble opinion, ethernet is superior to USB.

It seems like there are quite a few DACs with built in ethernet these days: Bricasti, Mytek, PS Audio, Lampizator, Lumin, MSB, Simaudio, Naim, Aurender, Auralic, Krell, Ayre, Hagel, Mola Mola, dCS, and the list goes on.
PS Audio has done this for a while.  That's one thing that attracted me to the DSDjr.  I am now curious how something like an Innuos Zenith would sound compared to the PS Audio Bridge II.  Extra digital cable, extra power cord, extra rack space - significantly more cost. Is it six times better than the $1k Bridge II?  That will be an path for me to explore in the next couple years.
