Option A........Connect using Speakerlink (and likely MHR???)
Option B........Connect using Ethernet and Sooloos Network protocols using the ID40 at the 861v6 end
How might One of those be potentially Superior to the other from a Qualitative point of view??
In Option B, there must be a dedicated master clock on the card. The ethernet packets are buffered and the master clock is used to produce a PCM stream with as-near-as-dammit perfect jitter properties.
In Option A, the Option B process takes place in the Sooloos source, but then the "jitterless" PCM is transferred to the 861 via SpeakerLink, adding jitter (even SpeakerLink is not perfect). Although the 861's de-jittering will probably take care of most (or all) of the jitter, the PCM post-861-FIFO has lost "master clock" status.
