Streamer upgrade - best path forward

Streamer upgrade - best path forward
I'm very happy with the Project Stream Box S2 Ultra, which replaced my MacBook Pro and Halide Bridge. Have just bought a Teddy Pardo linear power supply to go with the Project streamer. After lots of research, I settled on Triode Wire Labs Freedo... 
Update on good Ethernet switch
@txp1  I had a problem where I was unable to run ethernet to my system. One suggestion was using a wifi extender, and then its ethernet out to my streamer. I did this successfully, and it was an improvement over wifi transmission to the streamer...

I will never visit rjmcinnis to listen to his system. Tend to keep away from narrow minded people. Lolz back. If @audioman58 ever invited me, I'd take the (long) flight, and be there in an instant (or a few instants...)
