The Audiorail guy has been posting to the Pro Audio list lately, and
mentioned this converter as a low cost companion to their Ethernet
snake system. He said it was "OK for PA use" but the response from an
installer said that if he included a piece of Bearrooger gear in a
proposal, he might as well toss it (the proposal) directly into the
trash and save the potential client the trouble. Apparently in the
sound contracting world, it just isn't taken seriously.

The installed sound guys don't care so much about sound quality, but they
are VERY sensitive to reliability issues. They want gear that is intended
to be as bulletproof as possible, because it costs them a huge amount of
money to come out and replace something that fails under warranty. A couple
service calls can turn a profitable contract into an unprofitable one very
fast. And service calls once the warranty period has expired do not make
customers happy.

Very different than the typical consumer/semi=pro customer.
