Dante is the de-facto standard in the pro AOIP world, and is a matter of wait and see if Ravenna is capable of catching up. The other protocols have lost the race already IMHO.
BTW. i work in IT too, nearly 30 years now, Master of Computer Science from a Polytechnic University as educational background. Had nearly every function in software engineering, software design and consultancy except being an operator in a Data Centre. I know a thing or two about IT .
Figured out already that you're not just another audiophile .
We share a very similar background. Judging by your Poly-talk we may even share the same world region.
I just dont share your optimism about their software quality. I prefer the safe assumption that it's same as almost all other software/drivers nowadays. Also I dont think Dante is out of the woods already. Biggest for sure .. best positioned by far clearly. But Aoip itself is a still in inception. Anything might happen anyday .. which is not that bad
E.g. I still want my cheap, small eth2iis board and as long as it works and sounds great I wouldnt care a bit about the aoip standard.
