What USB converters/DAC's have you tried?

What networked converters have you tried?

  No networked dacs such as transporter; not interested in flooding the place with RF. I maintain as much silence as possible (RF and mains) when I listen and so I switch off modems and computers etc. Don't want twisted pair trailing the place unless I can build in.
  
  usb, you know my requirement for hirez. Tried various including the emu I am playing with. One of the problems with computers is that there is always some acoustic noise and vibration and much RF (I can detect this with instrument).

    The Sonos uses wired Ethernet for the first zone player - no RF. The computer with the music on it can be anywhere on the same LAN. Try out the demo at sonos.com
    
    Very impressive.

    You should probably try a firewire solution with a break out box then.
    
    You'd be able to multiplex in hi-rez (not that you want to).
