Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?

Thanks guys. I have a streamer / dac combo now which sounds very good when it works. Too many problems, too much frustration. I was hoping that the aurender would simplify things. I can use the Dac in my Teac NT505 but I'm not sure the aurender will work with the  Dac due to the need of a particular USB driver which is necessary to tun the USB.

My frustration level with the complexities of trying to stream my own library is very high. It would be easy just to forget streaming altogether

What are your problems with streamer to DAC?

FWIW, I use USB with all of my DAC's/streamers and have never had issues that made me tear out my hair.

Perhaps if you listed your equipment, or PM'd me, I/we could help. Streaming is pretty new, so things can get messed up easily.

Thanks for your offer and I may surely take you up on it. The system is listed and my streamer is a Teac NT505. At this point I am quite put out by the thing to the point that i find it hard to even want to deal with it. Thus I was considering a whole new direction with the aurender ans Sonnet. However I did talk to a vendor today about a server. He said I need to run a n Ethernet wire to the Teac from, the router and discard the WiFi extender. And that may be the problem I’ve been considering that along with connecting a laptop directly to the rear USB port and trying it. But as I say, I’m kinda burnt out on this thing. But I need to do these things and see what happens. It should be a very good machine according to specs, etc. Sounds good when it has played. Its also Roon ready but I don't like renting things.

But anyway The Teac is wired Ethernet to the extender which is nearby. Computer with library is in my office. 200mbps internet speed and a top tier Linksys router WRT1900 acs which is a gigabit router.

FWIW I have been computing since 1991 and setting up audio gear since late 60’s. I am not that strong on netwoeks though and have never had the issues I’ve had with this.

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.
