"2. I would have to use USB for anything above 96k. I am fairly certain that doing that would sound worse than any benefit of upsampling. "

Why do you say that?

Basically because of this post and the other posts it mentions. If you look at the rankings to get usb to be on top you have to do all kind of crap.

More flexibility too. WIth dante I can just send sound to multiple devices without worry. Not sure I can do that with usb. Since I have 2 sources its way easier with dante of I want switch. Also I plan to do some recording and have a Dante architecture is just easier to incorporate that.

Also I can isolate the computer electrically from the dac with ethernet/ dante. Not so much with usb.

  And you believe what you read on the internet from posts that are 6 years old? OK.

    Its more than just that one post if you look there are multiple threads on different sites and I read most of them. And then I jumped in and well have been happy with the sq from these inexpensive studio internet devices. My recent experience seems to jive with those posts. Its its not like I just read something and said OK there you have it. If I did that I would be using a nondedicated computer with a cheap usb dac because its all bits is bits and all dacs sound the same blah blah blah.
    
    Also it seems like usb is being subplanted with ethernet for audio anyhow so I am just being future proof too IMHO by avoiding usb.
    
    And its just way more flexible with the network. I can put sound where I want it. With USB I can only send sound from one computer to the usb connection. WIth the ethernet I can send sound from either computer to any of my network dacs. That can come in handy occasionally if one computer is updating or something. Or if I want to compare 2 different dacs, I can feed them the same source, etc.
