So, size, shape, layout, and construction, if you are planning to stay put for some time. For example, reach out to the community, dealers, and even manufacturers, about rec... | |
| Learning the hard way about AC power solutions AC is challenging, and there may be no one correct approach, because of being dependent on environment and equipment. So, as your equipment and location changes, do your past solutions still work? Do your current solutions actually work, or do you... | |

I would rather, if possible, quiet the noisy appliances on those other circuits and keep my au... | |

| Server to DAC connection I agree with Lalitk, that spdif is superior sounding to usb. At least, a few years ago when I did a/b testing with my own gear.l'm not familiar with your equipment, but I own a music server that is usb only, and a DAC that can accept various input... | |
