Improve RFI
I am out of town for a week so I won’t be able to do any more investigations or to see if my new location for the relay is still working.  Will report when I get back.   I have a follow up question about the mu Metal.  Someone up thread said that... 
Improve RFI
First off, I would like to thank everyone who has tried to help here.  My last post sounded snarky and ungrateful.   Second, a new development.  I placed the the transmitter -relay device on the floor next to the rack.  Previously it had been on ... 
Improve RFI
There is an RFI indicator on the relay part of the remote.  It is on constantly.  The same relay unit is in the upstairs unit and the RFI indicator is never one.   I have switched remotes as I indicated in posts above between the 2 systems.  No c... 
Improve RFI
Fusebox.  It must have been autocorrected.  Tried switching remotes, no changes. Tried turning off lights and unplugging everything in the basement, even the components that I want to control with the remote, to see if that changed the RFI indica...

Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System?
@travelinjack  good point about the pre out  
Streaming recommendations

Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System?
I use an Anthem 520.  It was paired with an older Parasound channel power amp and the front speakers are Silverline Panatellas.  The Parasound gave up the ghost a few months ago and I was assured that the Anthem should be able to drive everything ... 
Looking for an all in one streamer/amp for a den system
The only combo product that I had personal experience with was a Marantzstreamer DAC Amp many years ago and it was terrible, buggy on the streaming end, buggy and with non existent CS.   I know the OP said one box, but given the size of the Wiim ... 
Ethernet Wiring
I’m retired now but at my last work place they ran cat 5 through the building ducts and it was a huge improvement over the previously horrible WiFi that we had.  There were no issues over the year and a half of use before my retirement.  I chatted... 
Magntar player freezing and stopping
That’s disappointing.  It’s the first negative thing I’ve heard about Magnetar.   Have you tried unplugging the player and then rebooting?  I have a Pioneer UDP that requires this periodically.   I know that the Magnetar can be used to stream bu...

Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget)
I think that you will get the biggest bang for the buck by putting the $1K into speakers.  There are many other things to upgrade in your setup as well, but given the budgetary constraints here I would try to add the best set of floor standing ful... 
Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport.
I’d recommend a Bryston DAC 3 which is what I use with my 105.  I have a lot of SACD and use the HDMI inputs for the DSD.  Don’t know what it goes for used but someone quoted $2K up thread
