as i understand it, one of the significant aspects of the Varese hardware is the way the clock integrates with each piece. adding the Innous as the streamer likely steps back from that attribute i would expect. not judging the Innous streaming performance objectively, just the degree of synergy with the 'somewhat' closed complete Varese system.
Maybe he was just using the Innous just to "clean" the net - making it to enter in the server and going through the Innous re-clocked output.
