Ohh ok, that'd work with the recent MOTU ? Interesting, that makes
the Ultralite AVB worth a closer look. Would that mean i could, like,
just attach an N-DAC 8 to the MOTU and see another 8 outputs in JACK ?
Sorry if i sound a bit naive but i have no experience with network audio
so far ...
Cost-wise the difference isn't that much, no ? The AVB Ultralite is just
about ~30 euros more expensive than the regular MK4 ...
I mean, you might need an expensive switch, and eventually another DAC, but still,
it seems to offer a good lot of flexibility, or the possibility just to plug in into
an existing setup, etc ... i the end you'd probably end up in a price range not that
far from other solutions ...

Well mostly I'd be interested in having a
somewhat modular, compact yet
extensible solutions for multiple channels on recent laptops.
The MOTU devices allow connecting a laptop via USB, and expanding audio
channels via an AVB switch between multiple interfaces (or just direct
connection if you only have two devices).
The addition of AVB interface seems to add several hundred
dollars/pounds/euros to the price compared to a USB only device, so either
the expandability or the ability to physically separate the multiple
interfaces would have to be relatively valuable to make it worth the extra
cost.
