If your streaming with a computer using HQplayer or Jplay and don't have the money or want to spend it. Consider the Intel i350 V4 or V2 T2 PCIE NIC. It specs like a JCAT XE network card in jitter and isolation. They retail for around 200, but can be had for substantially less. I actually got a brand new Intel, not OEM or other brand for 100 on Mercari. Burning in now. Significant improvement. Sound substantially better after about 8 hours of burn. I find most things really need 200 sometimes moe. But it sounds better every couple hours I check it. No idea how it compares sonically to the JCAT's but it is the same chipset as JCAT uses on both it's cards. Here are the measurements, check them out! Look for the chart at the end that summarizes the oscope measurement.
