Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
I don't tell discuss costs of anything unless they ask.  
Streamer advice
Thanks everyone---I've been reading and watching some good reviews about the Zen Stream as well so that's another contender. I guess I could always connect the Node to the Zen DAC (so I can still use it). Hoping the connectivity issues are resolve...

Loretta Lynn has passed away
I grew up listening to classic country music and loved the movie Coal Miner's Daughter about her life. Another great legend has passed. RIP  
Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube
I enjoy his channel quite a bit. It's his channel and he's entitled to his own opinion. I enjoy hearing other's  reviews regardless if I can afford the product or not. I'm sure there are plenty of folks (including myself) who enjoy watching review...
