Holo Red Streamer
Next step. I finally found the right ISP and now on the Red  Audio menu, I first ticked UPNP then saved. I could not get MConnect to connect to my network, never a problem with Bridge II on PSA DSD. What am I missing? I am at the last stage before... 
Holo Red Streamer
I followed Jackd's 4/19 instructions but got lost once I type in my Verizon router IP into browser. Nothing on Holo Red setup came up; only Verizon devices on the WiFi Network, which included the Holo Red. All I received was a new blister pack Mic... 
Holo Red Streamer
Thank you to nymarty and oczed. This is why I ask clear instructions in advance of a digital or computer-related component with weak instructions so I do not bang my head against the wall. It would not have taken much more effort from Holo/Kitsune... 
Holo Red Streamer
Jackd, Thank you for the step-by-step directions. I will give it a go and report back. Cheers. Neal  
Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ
I have been using Tidal for 2 years and enjoy it immensely. Not only is sound quality excellent (especially MQA, and now they have added Atmos), but also their enormous inventory I am seeking. As well, their utility and ease both on computer and i... 
STREAMER
Every time someone tells you a PC will not make a difference (it's all 0's and 1's!), they are always wrong. The PC always makes a difference, just a matter of degree. No one can adequately explain the science.  Neal

Apology accepted, Rider. Thank you.   I actually purchased the Odin digicable in 2015 from a highly rated Audiogoner. Yes, it was 5 figures USD, but not ridiculously so compared to the IC's, which are two cables. I compared the Odin to the then ... 
Streamers?
Rockrider,   My mother taught me to ignore puerile comments, so I am ignoring.  
Streamers?
I have ordered the Holo Red streamer ($800) to replace the streamer card in my PS Audio DSD Mk I DAC. As streamer costs go, this one is modest, but we'll see what improvement is wrought. Probably connect AQ Vodka ethernet (excellent) from router t... 
Firewall module by Less Loss
I have used the LessLoss Firewalls for Speakers and they provided audible improvements. Neal  
Hybrid Tube Preamp - Loud Pops and Crackles
One colleague (oddiofyl) above suggested re-tensioning tube sockets.   I will follow your suggestions and see what happens. I too am surprised two sets of tubes causing the same noises, so it is unlikey the tubes are the problem. Thank you. Neal  
Hybrid Tube Preamp - Loud Pops and Crackles
Thx, colleagues. I will tool with the tubes and tube sockets and play with the volume control ( a possibility) and the IC cables (RCA and XLR). Beyond my skill to deal with cap or resistor. I am in NYC and hope I may not bother you -- but I might.... 
Ethernet cable recommendations
I have moved from Supra CAT 8 (good) to Wireworld Starlight 8 (better) to now Audioquest Vodka (best of the 3). Each step was an audible improvement, with the AQ Vodka a significant increase in quality from the Wireworld Starlight 8, which was ver... 
Sonore Rendu or similar
thyname, It was a sincere thank you, no churlishness at all. I mean it.   And thank you, too, yyz. A bit more complicated I am now ready to venture. Neal  
Sonore Rendu or similar
Telling me a lot I don't know about a topic I never thought about. Thank you.
