That really is the question isn't it? Is it a repackaged stock unit, or is it built on the same chassis as another piece. With something like computer audio it makes sense to use a component that is already in production, especially if it can be massaged to work well for audio. So that is the crux of the question. Is the innards the same or not? Just because the chassis looks the same does not make it the equivalent. And how to find out the difference. I do agree that one of these is expensive at list price, fortunately I did not have to pay that. However it is very obvious that it works well, and does what it says it does. That is very easy to tell.

Fair enough, but the product description doesn't bring out any immediate thoughts the LanRover does anything more significant than other (quality) USB over Ethernet extenders, iCrons are known to work quite well for USB audio.
