I am sending music files/ Internet radio via wired Ethernet  to my Oppo 103 serviced by my Minimserver on my NAS. Cleared any hint of siblance and brings more highs (compared to USB feed to my DAC). Can enjoy heavy rock music too. 

My Yggy dac connected thru Toslink but most people say AES XLR input is the best. What is the most cost effective way of getting an Ethernet input to AES XLR device built? Don't want to invest on pricey Aries or Singxer etc... at this stage

I have a Gustard U12 but want to avoid USB input.

there is no cheap option for AES at least not easy unless you want to make your own i2s to AES board. Not that hard if you know how something like getting texas instrument DIT4192 eval board or making something similar. If you want cheap I suggest going SPDIF RaspberryPi with Digi+ pro board pretty much a ready made option minimum assembly only required. It would still be much better than toslink

Pi you can get from many places like elemen14 or even jaycar for the digi+ you can get the board from here https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/bundles/hifiberry-digi-bundle/ I suggest you get the pro version worth the extra money. more info https://www.hifiberry.com/products/digiplus/

The hifiberry Digi is just a shield board for raspberry pi so you need to get a pi first that would handle the network connection where the Digi will do the spdif out (not AES) like I said in previous post there is no cheap ready made AES solution. You will need to go full diy if you want AES
