DACs oh my!
Don't worry about master quality, it's a hoax. Don't know nuttin' 'bout Zone 2. Good luck with that.  
Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming
I would place the mesh node close to the system and plug in Then turn on and tune out..  
How many systems do you have?
NINE plus satellites. Outside alone has 3 stereo speaker sets and 2 subs.  
noise distortion for certain tracks

Best server to use WITHOUT Roon

Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed"

Proposal:
Done with cars in the 60’s. First two were a Mercedes 4 on the tree then a GTO ragtop. Then a Cabriolet and a Renault. Only crashed 2 outta 4. Favorite was 6 years in a new Petercar.  
Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ?
