| Daisychaining Ethernet switches Many wall warts (SMPS) are well designed for audio and quite quiet. Lifeless can not be overcome with room treatment. | |
| Streamer software, what do you use? piCorePlayer on my Raspberry Pi. No need for Roon to combine core with streamer. That is totally erroneous. Except for the fact that only Roon has a "core." | |
| Audio Spectrum Analysis It looks very spiky. Many mics can't even get up that high. The only real verification has to be local. A picture means little in the land of AI. | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college My thoughts tend towards a PowerNode for a first one. It should be easy to sell if he decides to move up. I bought my son a nice biwired rig that he kept all through school. Now that he got PhD ed (& married?) he doesn’t even want that or any ... | |

| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Brian Protheroe | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? When it decides to run | |
| Need help picking a new DAC Choice of a pleasing DAC is such a personal thing that it is hard to see testimonials getting to Nirvana. Ears and features (including form factor and reliability) seem more important. | |
| 10 k speaker setup. 5.1 Phantom center? Smacks of a "consultant" who has never experienced 5.1 audio. | |
| For wi-fi streamers--a discovery to increase wi-fi strength Many years ago I dived into "network playing" (streaming) with a Bluesound Node. I quickly abandoned wifi as soix’s solution (mesh router) was an incomparably better connection. When I moved the Node outside I grabbed another mesh node on eBay for... |
