This is a great question that I've been playing with since getting some JBL PA speakers and seeing the ethernet jacks and looking at what it supported. It's SO difficult to get something working without buying really locked down and expensive gear that is for much larger applications. Also pretty cumbersome to enable on my Ubiquiti router but I'm getting there!
I ended up settling on using CobraNET by buying some fairly affordable GPIO rack units from reverb from a defunct church made by AudioScience. As doesn't really want to sell to me directly but they sell to a lot of churches and they scale up and down a lot so nice gear is really affordable.
I wouldn't call it easy to use, but compatible, affordable, and pretty cool. I've been working on a 4.2 mini "ambisonic" setup... It's a long term goal like an old guys basement train set. Heh.
