VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick!
Just use a regular brick. Pavers will weigh a bit more. 
Roon Nucleus as Network Player
The minidsp SHD and SHD Studio will function as a Roon endpoint they updated it last November to use RAAT you have to enable it through the Volumio player it then bypasses and will pass 24/192. Why I got the Studio to use my DAC. I am not sure if ... 
Roon Nucleus as Network Player
I looked at the DDRC-22D but wasn't sure it could be connected by USB using ROCK as the controller it says only Windows or Mac so I went with the SHO Studio to connect with ethernet and use it as an endpoint. I think the Dirac is the same.  
Fairly new to streaming. Where to start?
The main difference between the Node2i and 2 is the 2i has 5ghz wifi. I had dropouts using wifi so I ran a wire. 
Understanding DAC's
Some of the DACs will convert the PCM to DSD or if you have Roon or other software you can do it there and the DAC would need to be capable of playing DSD. I've tried that and to me the DSD conversion seemed to "sound better". I think it's because... 
Roon Nucleus as Network Player
That's probably what I'll do.  I was thinking I wish you could simply export Dirac filters to Roon and not need the minidsp in the chain.  
Roon Nucleus as Network Player
I am using Roon ROCK on a NUC connected by USB to a DAC. USB is being galvanic isolated in DACs it’s just as good. I don’t know all the flowery language the reviewers use but it sounds great to me. It’s better than when I used a Node2i as the stre... 
Wirelessly Connecting an iMac with TIDAL and Audirvana (flac files) to a DAC
Just need to make sure your music folder is shared using the SMB protocol.

Map a drive to the MyCould put the files on the PC instead of the external USB then copy from the PC to the mapped drive on your computer, mapping the drive when copying always seems faster to me or if you can attach the USB drive to the MyCloud w... 
Easy to use NAS? Trouble with file loading
Your ISP has nothing to do with the speed of your LAN. You say you have a Windows PC with a USB device attached are you trying to copy from the USB device to the NAS? 
MSB vs dCS Bartok
Just get the Mola Mola  Makua with the DAC it's  Roon ready so you get it all in one box.  
Wirelessly Connecting an iMac with TIDAL and Audirvana (flac files) to a DAC
You could use the Node2i wireless or wired. You don't need Audirvana to use the Node2i to stream your Flac files or tidal. 
TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please?
The Teac will only do 100meg have you tried a cheap switch that only does 10/100 between your router and 505 ? 
Cocktail audio x45 , Digital AES our to in no response.
You have probably already tried all this but was wondering have you made sure AES is enabled,  set digital out to fixed volume, set frequencies to passthrough? I guess the pins are all 1 ground,  2 + , 3 - ?
