exploring DACs
I think $2,500 is the upper limit of my budget.  Used would be best, though I am considering the ANK kit

Interesting experience with two very different speaker designs
@pfiche and @arafiq I think you are both right.  arafiq, I am definitely a beginner hobbyist and I was genuinely shocked that the speakers I made sounded as good as they do.  The other OB designs I made, though promising, had serious flaws.  I wou... 
Interesting experience with two very different speaker designs

can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP
@erik_squires The core is on WiFi.  My downstairs system (endpoint) is connected directly to the router.  The upstairs system (endpoint) is also on WiFi.  I don't have a WiFi mesh node in my office by the computer.  Perhaps that is why hi res work... 
can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP
