AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out
I'm running AES/EBU from my DDC to my Dac. I like it better than the I2S. More depth.  
Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at?
I wonder how @magconpres  got on with the updates on his system.

I'm not going to respond to it...  
It’s it just me or there are others.
More of an English saying...  
Best way to connect my Gustard R26?
The Node has digital out, and the Hegel digital in. Also, I suggest you get a Leo Bodnar clock for the R26. Have a few UK/EU friends who say it's fantastic. http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107&am... 
I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
I suggest you look at a Puritan PSM 156 to replace your PS Audio unit. Very positive reviews and experiences. So much demand, they have had to significantly increase production. I have one on order. http://www.puritanaudiolabs.com/products/maste... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
Might not be very good at communicating, but you do bang on. Wows abound. Especially that listening is stupid. I tried it, not listening. It was stupid. Couldn't hear a thing.  
Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra plus custom LPS+ linear power supply.
I really like my Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. I’d read one of the reviews saying John Westlake’s design made a seperate power supply would have little to no effect (I think the reviewer had tried the battery Project power supply). So for 18 month...

I think you are the arrogant one. Have no time or interest in anything you post. ASR is a much better site for you.  
Update on good Ethernet switch
@fthompson251 Wifi router to optical adapter via Ethernet. Optical out to modded Cisco 2960 switch (which has optical in). Switch to streamer. I have a couple of Teradak linear power supplies. One I’ll use on my modem. They are decent power sup... 
Dreamin' of streamin'
I have severe space limitations with my system. But did finally upgrade from the MacBook. Was also using Audirvana Plus. Found the Project Stream Box S2 Ultra to suit my purpose. Although at the lower end of streamers, it was designed by John Wes...

IsoAcoustics Gaia vs the Titan series

Why are speaker stands so expensive?!
I’m a sceptic on buying audio supports. Each time when I’ve finally purchased reasonable products, my scepticism has been proven unfounded. Last month bought a used pair of Sound Anchors - 3 post - stands ($400). Well worth the money spent.  
IsoAcoustics Gaia vs the Titan series
Recent research, I found Stack Audio Auva recommended over IsoAcoustic Gaia. Have a set of Auva arriving from the UK tomorrow (hopefully). 30 day money back guarantee.
