Streamer question
Yes. Grateful Dead is the biggest issue for me. Presumably for to the number of tracks under the same artist.   
Streamer question
Thanks! I'll research what you're speaking of.  
Streamer question
I appreciate the feedback. Again, Roon ran fine for years until my library reached a certain size. And there are occasions it will be trouble free for months. But then it will act up again. I don't know if the SSD reboots or not. I assume when it... 
Streamer question
A simple google search for, "can you run Roon core on an SSD attached to a NAS" will answer your question. It won't let me copy and paste here.  
Streamer question
I've run Roon in this configuration for probably seven years with no issues. The issues have started as I've passed 10k albums. And more specifically most of my issues are with artists I have more than 1,000 albums for. If I only have a few albums... 
Streamer question
10,000 albums. 125k + tracks.   
Streamer question
DAC is a Holo Audio May KTE. This is why I don’t want a DAC, just a streamer      
Streamer question
I tried a bluesound once and returned it. As I recall it sounded odd and also couldn’t handle the size of my library. But, thanks for the advice.   
Streamer question
Thanks. I have a decent system, just want to lose the USB cable.  I’ll work on the Roon issues separately.   
Streamer question
Thanks. Appreciate the response.  
PC/stereo setup and/or cable question
Yes. I neglected to add the router. Can anyone attest to the sound quality of the USBridge?i have a pretty transparent system. And the whole goal of this is the hope of a bit of sound quality improvement from replacing the 30’ USB.  
PC/stereo setup and/or cable question
I'm looking at the Allo USBridge, but the terminology is a bit too technical for me.Would I run it like this: NAS>ehternet cable>PC>ethernet cable>USBridge>USB cable>DACI run Jriver, so I think my PC needs to be in the mix. 
PC/stereo setup and/or cable question
I’m researching all of these suggestions, but this is all new to me. Dave and Troy- I’m not sure I understand what you’re suggesting. Thanks all. Still open to any suggestions.  
Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+
Seriously, as someone who has demo’d over 20 speakers before choosing D7’s, the Be speakers rank in the top 10-15% of forward-sounding speakers. The classic Spendor ( non-D series) rank in the bottom 10-30% of forward sounding speakers.Spendor D... 
Power Conditioners
I purchased the Audioquest Powerquest 2 at my dealer's recommendation. I was returning a $1,000+ power conditioner I had been demoing and decided against buying. I was thinking there was no way in the world a $199 unit would work. But it did. Ther...
