RPi3 is sharing the network with the USB port. Not only is the network slow (Not full 1Gbps), the fact it's sharing everything makes it less ideal.
As snoopy said though, you'll need a good LPS to power your Pi.
In general the reason why I havn't really focus on the RPi side of things much is because Intel based computer still sound better to me so far.. But that could be because I don't have those audiophile grade RPi setups... Hey if any companies want to sponsor me, feel free to drop me a DM!
