Virtual Systems Picture Order
It does change the order, but when I hit save, it just reverts to whatever order the server wants.

@glennewdick The dragging/dropping option doesn't work at all on my computer.  Do you use Chrome on Windows?

And then don't change any captions.  I just did and it bumped that file to the top making it the public image of the system.  Wow. 
Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad
@mikelavigne Such an amazing room (and system)... 
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
@lemonhaze  And I use a "decent" ethernet cable, a Supra cable I bought off of Ebay.  Periodically a change in the system configuration has forced me to use another random cable and I haven't ever noticed a change, so I wouldn't focus on that vari... 
Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad
I think an empty space, or a very low rack is best, especially if the rack is even with the speakers.  As people have pointed out, however, that is going to be room dependent.  I've got 8 feet between my speakers and definitely noticed improvement...

@high-amp7  My personal definition is that a streamer has an ethernet input, allowing you to "stream" files directly over the network/internet (presumably using Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, etc... in addition to from a hard drive).  A server may hold th... 
SET amplifier recommendation
And since some of the information is buried in the thread, here's a quick rundown:  all you do is set your volume at the max listening level you use, then play the provided -12db 120hz test tone while measuring voltage at the speaker terminals. Sq...

@cygnus_859 If you're curious how much power your speakers are using and have (or are willing to buy) a multimeter, you can use the technique at this link to actually measure how much power you'll need..https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/20... 
Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
Also, because I wasn't using the second output, I decided to buy some additional capacitors to try in that location. On a whim bought two Mundorf Supremes as something very different than the Duelund copies Don uses on output 1. I find them substa...
