Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio
@soix transmission of files over networks is absolutely identical to music streams. There is no concept of jitter in network protocols. Or any loss. Are you mixing up primitive coax AES transmission with internet? Poorly designed non-correcting Re... 
Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio
Wow how much ADO about same bits. Is your WiFi not capable of copying Word files or printing documents? If it does, then there is no difference with Ethernet. Networks are designed to deliver information with zero loss. Over cables, satellite, fib... 
Music server recommendations needed.
Frankly it is only worth ripping if something is not available in streaming. Rather than ripping 16/44 CD you can have 24/96 stream on Tidal... It has been a long time since I listened to any of my ripped CDs.  
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
@dcmnto - Paul Allen had absolutely zero to do with modern (or old) Windows. He left company (or, rather, was pushed out) long time ago. Never had any influence on OS design. Besides, since 25 years ago OS changed quite a bit.  
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
I primarily use Windows desktop as a source, but occasionally Macbook as well. Streamer is just a computer. And I am pretty sure Apple gear is much better designed than some ARM Linux box.  
Is there a way to stream You-Tube music into a digital amp?
Airplay from your phone or tablet. If your amp is not Airplay ready, get one of those airplay devices with digital out on Amazon for $50.  
Connect 2 USB-B, 1 pair Balanced Phono and 1 coax input to an Integrated Amp/DAC
It is possible to turn Mac into streamer so Roon will see it. Then you only need to connect Roon. OR turn Mac into Roon server? Do you really need two computers?  
Are all streamers the same?
@audioman58 - depends on what you measure. Seat material won't affect 0-60. But it may affect sound of the car music system. On the other hand, brand of the car battery probably won't matter...  
Are all streamers the same?
Mostly difference is in the controlling app. Many require Roon which means paid subscription. Aurender has its own app. Now as for the unit, they do have different hardware. It is up to you to decide if power supply in your computer makes a diffe... 
so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
@deep_333 - so.... you are a judge of First Amendment here? Supreme Ruler of Truth? Yeah, people post relevant information. So yeah, move on.  
Leave it Open or Close it Off: A Listening/ Living Room Dilemma
Yeah close it. I have large room that is open and it has issues  
Anyone know fuse spec. of LHY OCK-1 Clock?
You can try check wattage (I doubt clock consumes more that 10W), divide by AC voltage to get typical current value. Pick fuse based on that.  
Voltage conversion of Accuphase C-47
Try searching forums for "accuphase conversion" there are many threads

Everyone? Don't think so... As long owner of D700 I can say you want to try and hear YOUR music with them. There is no such thing as 'musical' for everyone.  
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
All cables, esp USB/Ethernet, then power All big names like B&W, Revel, Wilson,
