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 ...

$8k for speakers - new or used

Simmer. Sorry, your skin hasn’t been toughened up yet. I, like all the MAC fans have an opinion, sorry.  I reread his post to make you happy. Mac fans are very loyal but their equipment is not for everyone. I can’t say the auto former is the probl...
