New streamer needed

@audphile1 No worries, as long as it is funny and ethical. Indeed, I would prefer a double blind experimental setup.

@moonwatcher I am using Qobuz since 2015.Good point about the interface.

To make a wireless connection, is Is anyone of you using a TP link plugged into your router in one space and a slave unit put into the room the system is in, and from there to your streamer? Would that work for high resolution files?

I have a high speed 3 unit mesh system, 1 unit for each floor.  I have 3 different streamers on wifi, one for each floor.  None are wired to a mesh unit, in other word 100% wifi, and they all receive high res files without issue.  I was prepared to get an additional mesh unit to site it right next to streamer and connect with cable if necessary, but was not needed. 

btw, my home network is completely thru the mesh.  In other words, router to base mesh unit. then switch to same mesh unit. then everything else on network plugs to switch (e.g., small green computer which is my server, ethernet connection for my one wired streamer, etc.).

@stievus I use EERO mesh network throughout the house. One access point is close to the equipment rack. Ethernet cable is Purist Audio 🐈‍⬛ 7.

I have 400mps service and the EERO sees about 200-260mps. More than enough to stream high resolution files. I never had a problem.
