Too bad NS1 didn’t work that well for me. Transients were too sharp which suggested there could be digital noise on the signal - probably already riding on the signal before being converted to optical.I use the Optilink connection with my DA2, which is about the best you can do for electrical isolation. Streaming via ethernet is the noisiest but, I think simply having the processors inside the DAC for ethernet, and to a lesser extent USB, probably generates noise.
