Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS

@brewerslaw  I’ve had some of the same issues. I chalked it up to not everything you stream is of the highest quality. Who is your streaming service?  
Why so few devices with BNC's??
I asked the same question when I was doing a DAC loop and was looking for a cable and there were so few to choose from. All I got was it was old technology.
