Ethernet cables
"Digital is just 1's and 0's" is a good way to think about data trasfer (banks, nuclear weapons, photo downloads) but not streaming.  Streaming can's use FTP with error checking that will take whatever time it takes to get files bit perfect.  Stre... 
One box music server solution with i2s output
I'm sure it has been less than a couple of years since I last pointed out how foolish it was to pick your equipment by whether it has I2S or not.  
Company headquarters and warranty repairs
I just traded my UK DAC (DAVE) for a Polish DAC (Lampizator).  I've never sent a piece of equipment in for repair. Jerry

I got no notification and see nothing on the website.  
Sound Quality of Cables Used With Bluesound Node

Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H
@erik_squires continuing to do some more research with your suggestion of Marantz, I'm leaning toward the Cinema 50 which seems to fit my system perfectly.  If also has Dirac Live Room correction capability which should be an upgrade.  Do you reco... 
Rigid outlets for Heavy cables
Should be a like function on this forum.   good post Erik.
