If you use their transport, you would want to use their etherCON RJ45 (AQlink) input connection, also known as I2s. I tried using the I2s connection through an Off Ramp 4 but I could not get the Off Ramp to work with either of my sources, a tricked out Mojo Mac mini or the Antipodes DX. Steve Nugent is off line for a while (sort of a working vacation) so I will work with him to get the Off Ramp up and running when he is back at his business. BTW, I have found the Antipodes DX to be noticeably superior to the mini, which has a Mojo outboard linear PS to power both the mini and the outboard AV drive, an internal SSD, and optimization as a music server.
I do not play CDs any more, except to load them to the DX, so I have no interest in the Aqua transport. IMO, they should focus on either a server or a converter that outputs I2s. As is, the La Scala II sounds great with a direct USB input from the source. I hear a musically dense tonality and more body than typical for most DACs. I can understand why Darko and Srajan liked it so much.
