Streamer Recommendation.

I was Wi-Fi limited and tried extenders that sort of worked and finally ended up with the Netgear Powerline 2000. Had it about a year and it works great! Not one blip in a year!

All the best.

+1 @musicfan2349 on keeping the mesh satellite at least a few feet away from other audio electronics, especially tube preamps, and plan to use a good quality Ethernet cable to connect from the satellite into the unit. 

OP here.  I want to thank all the kind posters above.  What a wealth of helpful  information. 

I am leaning toward a Auralic Aries G2.1 (DAC less) transport with  2 TB SSD storage.  

I should make my purchase at the end of November(+/ -) I will post my impressions and set- up experience in Jan 23

At this point I will not bore you with the issues I would have in running cable (tri level house, block walls, flat roof, 13 Ft ceiling etc.).  

Anyway, thanks again.  

@rbsaudio

i think you are making a fine choice with the auralic, especially with your need to use wifi - you just need to make sure your wifi is solid, with strong signal

i would add though, in my music room i am using a mesh router satellite to deliver a ’virtual’ ethernet feed into my roon core/streamer, and it works very well -- one day i may bite the bullet, drill through and run an actual hardwire ethernet, but so far i have avoided that need with excellent performance with the mesh system

Notice to Vault users.   I backed up my Vault 2i onto a 2 TB drive, plugged it into my PC and dragged and dropped a bunch of CD rips onto my Aurenders 4TB drive.  

Works great, after scanning the drive the Aurender assembled the missing album art on some rips.   You can also edit Metadata if some is missing 

Aurender N200 is an awesome machine.   You can use it with an Ethernet over AC adapter.  I use one by TP Link, it works great.   No noise or issues.  To ensure no nasty artifacts from that scheme I use a TP Link gig switch with 2 SFP ports.  That allows me to electronically decouple my Aurender and Vault via a fiber optic media converter to each one .   Super black, quiet background .   

I have heard Aurender will work on WiFi if you plug a specific Realtek wifi adapter into one of the accessory USB ports.  I have not proven that but the Ether over AC works great for me.   I had a Netgear wifi over AC unit and it injected noise.  The TP Link gear is dead quiet.
