Dante as far as I was aware is designed to use Multicast UDP packets, which are normally not designed to cross between networks. It is possible to do in certain applications but I am not sure that it can be configured easily. IMO you are probably better off putting a Dante only switch in and...

Also the 502's don't sound good unless you buy the bose controller. You can get close but they will never sound right without it.

The biggest argument I would make about going the PC route is reliability. It makes me nervous to run software on something that commonly can lock up or crash depending upon the performance of your machine. That being said, all the new ETC light boards are also software running on top of...
