I thought USB is struggling hard just to be able to play finely in highend audio system but it took far worse for network ones. I heard a few from popular brands none sounds alive. Dull and lifeless and not much of difference from listening to internet radio performance.
Forgive me if it sounds offensive but that's honestly what I and many people I know feel when experience ones. Let me list some from what I can remember here.
"I got a call from my friend saying this ones is no good despite being very expensive."
"It sounds normal. Just like car audio."
"Could you recommend any good software because ones from company sounding so bad." I asked him to try connecting storage directly to player through USB mass storage connection and that's how he plays the music.
"This ones has very good sound network audio player.....what? Network is used only for controlling?"
"I auditioned some cool system using highend NAS, highend ethernet cables, and highend server grade router. When I asked him to play my songs from SSD portable drive with some <$10 USB cable, its performance silenced the owner. We didn't talk much and went out for dinner."
Those are from my friends. Some called me, some texted me and some are my friend's story with me. I thought USB Audio already have a hard time making good music playback but may not be as hard as network audio.
