In error I bought a Soekris LAN PCI card but only have PCI-e slots. My MB also only has a single ethernet port.

Can anyone recommend a decent PCie card for network audio purposes? The Jcat Femto card is obviously tailor made but the price is very high.

Would the Intel X520 type be good, apparently the clocking is decent?
 
Get any PCI-e network card. Ethernet card clock has absolutely nothing in common with the audio signal going out of your DAC chip. It either works or does not. You will not be transfering huge data flows to tell difference between realtek and intel.

JCat network card is a nonsense. It is just a business towards gullible uninformed affluent audiophiles. Sorry to say that.

Good to know, thank you. Jcat and SOtM are killing it with overpriced voodoo stuff.
