I am running these at home on a laptop hooked up to a CEC
DX71 DAC as music server. This is a professional audio
recording unit and should suit your requirements.

Also because it has an RJ45 connector from PCMCIA card to
the break out box I have used normal CAT5 to extend the
1m lead length to 8m so it can be run remotely.

Interesting.

Why didn't they make it firewire though ?


Reasonble question, but I suspect that the answer goes something like
this:

Firewire cable costs more and is less common than CAT-5. It probably
is way overkill in terms of protocol complexity for the application.

It is overkill for audio.


Can you run this box from an ordinary network connection ?
