Good news!!
Tonight I played around a little. In short, I switched to the side USB2.0 only output on the SilenZio and from the 1.0 meter WW Platinum starlight to a 0.5meter length of the same cable. The LANRover is now working in my system and I will pressure test it making some on the fly changes to various sample and bit rates. If it proves stable, I will start more serious listening this week to compare it to my Base system and the Base with the Recovery installed.

Not so fast! System crashed when I switched to a 24/192 FLAC file while playing a DSD 2.8 file. It worked fine when switching to a new DSD file while playing another DSD file.
It is just not stable in my system and I don't know what else to do. Fingers crossed there is a silver bullet coming from Boulder.

Just curious whether there's anything new to report on the Lanrover.

Sending mine back today. After about 3 hours of trying 'things', I was told there was something fundamentally wrong with my system and that is why the LANRover would only play DSD after I rebooted everything cold. The system would freeze if JRiver moved from DSD to FLAC and would never play FLAC. ;(. I was also told I am in the 10% of those for whom the LR does not work.
As a note, when I removed the LANRover from my system and connected the Silenzio/Recovery to the Esoteric DAC via USB, JRiver MC21 plays all my files seamlessly. Don't know why but I am moving on. It was worth a shot. Unfortunately, I was never able to verify the claims of improved sound.

Thank you guys for your time. I really like my interaction with JRiver. So much I have not tried anything else. Interesting that 10% of buyers will not be able to use this product. I would not release it to the public like that. Passing on it for now.
It's pretty cool how the Recovery contributes to SQ for so little investment. Happy listening!

It's unfortunate that it didn't work out as planned. I had high hopes for this in my system. I think I'll wait until I see some favorable reviews.

Just to be fair the Recovery also had compatibility issues with certain systems. In my system the Regen worked without issue but had no such luck with the Recovery. For systems that they work in they generally do offer improvements, but it seems to be hit or miss as to whether one will work in a specific application. With all of the variations in both hardware and software their design and application is far from being a perfect science.

For me, obviously, changing out my Esoteric K-03x was not an option.
