To me, this reads as if there shouldn't be any problems with my Alpha USB digital converter.

 

Not, if you have a "competently" designed audio streamer like the cheapest Aurender Aurender X100L (2.7k- 3.9k Euro).
Than it should be plug and play.
It should be as well "plug and play" with your Rivo via AES/EBU output to the Genelecs - suppose you have on of the pro 3way SAM model?
Let's assume you could save 5k with that simpler solution ;-)
