| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Sorry- the last numbers were reversed for the room with the extender. Should read 30 Mbps download and 9 up. Router is Amplifi Alien with Netgear Powerline. | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @soix As I had to resort to using a Powerline extender for the purpose of having a network connection direct to my server I did ran a Speedtest just after reading your last post. Please bear in mind that I don’t have the best service in the area... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @lalitk Hey there- Once you’ve finished your Mimosa move onto “Dry Cleaning- New Long Leg”. Fair warning- it isn’t jazz! | |

| Response Audio / Audio Note custom DAC @response34 Hello! I came across this thread today and was wondering if you have continued to work on projects like the ANK Dac mod described above. Are you familiar with ANK’s latest 5.1 Signature Dac? | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @mapman I’m up for hearing your work- not sure how to go about getting the files you have but send me a note sometime and we’ll figure it out. |
