I have had fabulous results. Better than I ever anticipated. I'm getting far superior sound quality to years ago when I had up to $10K CD players in my room.
I'm using SONORE Signature Rendu SE and Small Green Computer via an Audioquest Ethernet cable from the wall outlet IOP converter to the digital front end. This has proven to be a beautiful digital front end.
Lately the digital/amplification is crushing it, sensational results with the EXOGAL Comet DAC and Ion PowerDAC with upgrade HyperDrive. I just recently wrote about the upgrade to the Ion, and I did not overstate the improvement. It's terrific, and makes the Comet and Ion the best DAC/Power scheme I've used to date bar none. VERY high end sensibility for about $7K. Not chump change, but more erudite than any big gun separates DAC and amp (stereo or Monos) I have used. I suspect that with time I will best this performance, but in my experience it would take a lot more MSRP firepower to do so.
I have done servers in the room previously with hard connection and the sound quality I have now supersedes those setups. So, IOP is certainly not holding back the system from attaining excellent results. I am using the basic two unit set available from Best Buy for converting the signal from the router to power line and back again. Occasionally there is a handshake issue, it seems and it takes a few minutes for signal to get locked in, but once established I'm good to go.
