Turn an Intel macmini into a music server
I would not use the RPi3+.  It has the USB and the Ethernet running on the same bus.  It is very noisy.  Even with something like an isolator/noise reducer and an IFI power cleaner, I still found it noisy.  When I switched to a custom build with a... 
Turn an Intel macmini into a music server
I would suggest hqPlayer embedded with a Linux OS.  hqPlayer has a minimal Os or something like Archie minimal. You can use an Android app to control it. I won't deny the app leaves some things to be desired.  But the SQ is excellent and  hqPlayer...

DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range
Have you tried changing filters or convolution with hqPlayer?  I have a Totaldac d1core that I love.  hqPlayer with convolution help to make up for room issues.  I used REW and rePhase with a umik mic.  Definitely not easy, there is a learning cur... 
Streaming network issues - need a geek
Try this. 1.  Set modem to pass-through. 2.  Connect Netgear to modem.  That is the only connection to modem other than DSL input. 3.  Connect printer, etc to router leaving 1 ethernet socket open. 4.  Connect final ethernet to cable running t...

PS - that means nothing but the Netgear will plug into the modem once it is in pass-through mode.  Everything will be connected to the Netgear.  
Streaming network issues - need a geek
No, @ericsch is correct, you need to turn your modem into pass through mode.  The modem doesn't care about security as such, the router does and your Netgear router should have a firewall built in.  As I mentioned before, you turn that off by hitt... 
Streaming network issues - need a geek
First, what is your speed on the DSL?  Around here it is only 6MB downstream.  That's not much these days.  It certainly will not do justice to a 4k TV. Second, are you trying to hookup two networks?  It sounds like you have the router function o... 
I am so happy.....

Amir and Blind Testing
I agree.  It can take months for me to fully appreciate an upgrade. Something I never noticed before in a passage or song I may not have listened to since getting the upgrade.  While the idea of blind testing sounds logical, I personally don't thi...
