What a strange thing to say without any back up.

 

Ayre are using a network module from ConversDigital, as mentioned in Stereophile's review.

I can't/won't speak for barrows but I GUESS he is hinting that it's not the best networking solution out there, even though I'm very sure Ayre have implemented it in the best way that is possible.

 

Expect to see much better ethernet-to-I2S cards coming (off the shelf and/or DIY) as ethernet input DACs become more popular.
