OK Startech LAN has Landed!
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-330-Feet-Ethernet-Extender-USB2G4LEXT2/dp/B00HFGQESY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
And BOY does this thing work! Holy Cow! Now I have to say I listened to a fav test track for a reference point - and I said to myself - this is awfully great, how in the heck can it get better?
Then in the first 30 seconds, with the Startech LAN in, my jaw dropped - I mean the uber chained F-1 is a detail champ - but now details emerged that I'd never heard - and the sweetness factor upped significantly!

PS Got to say a BIG thank you to Paul McGowen for letting the cat out of the bag...this cat for one is very happy
Wait so the cheaper non gigabit versions are a no go? I thought you ordered both...
Yeah that one hasn't arrived yet. But our thinking is it does not do the USB to TCP/IP conversion so misses some of the benefit. We'll see.
Ok, I couldn't stretch to the price tag of the 1Gbit Startech LAN, but I've ordered a Lindy 42693 Extender USB 2.0 (that is a mere Usb extender over ethernet) and a Connecticplus Kit extender USB 2.0 over TCP/IP.
The latter should do the Startech job (but not in 1Gbit mode) as in the description of both Amazon.de and Amazon.uk is clearly stated that is a USB to TCP/IP.
Let's hope they'll work.
