Burned Pecan Pi
@mlsstl Right on with piCore/LMS. It does art much better than Volumio and plays many more streams free. Sure there is a learning curve, BFD. I put it on my RasPi 3 and Allo right from the web site. With Orange Squeeze you can access multiple s... 
Best new audiophile rock album
He sounded like a different player with Procol Harum because he played a Les Paul with them.  
What the ship just happened?
It’s pretty simple. If you insist on buying used, out of warranty you can insist on "signature upon receipt" shipping. Or eat it.

miniDSP and Pro-Ject both ship with customized Volumio versions that play Tidal and Qobuz for free. I’ve never given Volumio a dime. You can play both subscription services over the free version using BubbleUPnP first. Try piCore player if you hav...

Buying new would have prevented.  
Suggestions for a digital cable.
I think that DH Labs Silversonic AES/EBU is the sweet spot is balanced. An Audio Envy IC is the most open SPDIF coax that I've ever tried. DO NOT try removal by it's cable.  
Down sizing
Neutral is the signature of the Sanders. Formerly line stage only now with built in phono stage. I would say the Main Out on any preamp should be the same as Pre Out. No clue why you are moving speaker cables but I use a Solupeak P2 switchbox to ...
