| Weiss DAC 204 hiccups I agree with the recommendation to add a router extender. I had the same issue with my separate streamer and DAC. I purchased a Eero 6+ extender after the one extender I got from my wi-fi provider stopped working. The technician from the provid... | |
| Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer? Agree that 2 subs is the way to go. I had a similar experience with my SVS subs. Started with one and I’m now happy with the sound with 2. | |
