Streamers and software
Yes, cat 6 to my streamer.  BT is noisy.  The data rate is 3X more for Qobuz and it seems to add that little extra.   I could probably get by until updates come through.  I was trying to figure out how to erase everything and start over.  Copyin... 
Streamers and software
Thanks all.  Lots of suggestions. I am pretty sure the Qobuz sound was noticeably better.  I am always wringing more out of my system.  I could have done something else at the same time.  But I will try Amazon again.  We are generally in agreemen... 
Streamers and software
Eversolo, Wiim,Geselli are all the buzz now. I see too many for sale used already. They would all be a step back from where I am. There is a good selection online of Aurender, one Simaudio, innous but might cost close to $2000. I guess that is a ...

The rat’s nest of cabling. Large transformers in components.   My discovery.
I agree. Noise is a great thing to reduce for top sound when streaming  
Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all?
I have basically the same system for 5 yrs but added several things to make it sound better. I have a Node 2i with a Pd Creative power supply and aftermarket power cord. It sits on Herbie’s dots. The router has a linear power supply. I run a Cat 6...

Bluesound mode not really cutting it
I have node 2i. I put a new power supply on it. It goes to Topping AKM D90. The resolution is amazing. Every transient, fade out. These are both 5 years old with a total cost of about $1200.  Since I have switched to Qobuz I am having nothing but ...

HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment
I started building my system 5 yrs ago.  Everything I added or changed made an improvement in sound. I didn't know what I didn't know. Finally, it hit me.  Music was just right.  I could listen for hours.  It was relaxing yet powerful.  . Sou... 
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
Yes, I have Gfci in my 1957 home.  It is nice to have a copper rod driven into the ground.  I also have a grounded water pipe.  I bought Furman PST 6.  these have electrical protection and will filter the power.  $30 each.  3 prongers with no grou...
