Sound quality of Roon
Yes I am familiar with that post @wsrrsw thanks. I am talking about considering high end switches, like the M12, SR etc.  I am looking hard at the M12.  Question: I see the special connections at the M12. Their ethernet cords can have the M12 f...

Well there is a great topic:  Comparing better switches.    
Sound quality of Roon
Good Morning @wsrrsw , Speaking With ?Rich at Network Acoustics, he said many find the Ether Regen is not needed in front of the Muon Filter.  He said try it, but that many found that a simple switch (not fancy) in front of the filter was good.  ...

Hey @wsrrsw ​​​​@blisshifi !  We should visit each other!  I've gone big in most areas, but limited my switch (ahem so far) to the Silent Angel Bonn 8. I power it off the 'other rail' of my  HDPlex (the other rail powers my Nucleus+).  I have seen...

+1 @wsrrsw ! Have you tried a Network Acoustics Filter?  I have the Muon, and it made more of an impact than the EtherRegen.

Auralic Aries G2.1 (built in China, but great US support and service) Aurender, choices as per budget, Innuos, choices within budget as well.  Then the more 'upscale' brands, Grimm (US?), Antipodes (Australia), Pink Faun  Pay attention to the powe... 
Best Dedicated Streamer
Do you use Roon?  That is a primary decision I think, and will eliminate a few major contenders if you do.  Having a Roon Streamer is a must for me.  
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Hi @Soix, I think I tried to say that. When i demo'd cables from the Cable Company I did not know much at all, and calling them, talking to them about my system, and then trying  different companies was helpful.  I returned them and tried others, ... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
I agree @pinthrift that the Cable Company is good way to demo different cables.  But it is not free or even cheap, and of course the incentive is to pick one of the ?few that you demo and use your rental credits.  I did this and ended up picking A... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Hi @Soix and everyone.  Interesting as always discussion with folks on each end and in the middle.  I kind of come at the vinyl / digital issue from the fundamental end.  I want to listen and hear the best reasonably (individual meaning of course)... 
Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks?
For me the display must go completely dark.  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
Hello @Robert1976,  this is my second response to you so I may repeat some things.  You have gotten many helpful responses and the expected skeptical ones as well.  Recall I have Nucleus+ on my network and Tambaqui DAC with revealing SS electronic... 
Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood?
I would consider Isoacoustics Gaia feet.  First use sliders to position, then remove the sliders and keep them on the Gaia's.
