Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
Are you using a stock/generic DC cable? If so, a custom aftermarket DC cable may deliver surprising improvements. Custom DC cable + grounded LPS + isolation/resonance control for the LPS. Trifecta. I am! I can indeed do better than the stock DC... 
Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
@david_ten I really appreciate your input, and I hope it didn't come out the wrong way. I have isolation bases similar to the Acoustic Revive TB-38H for my main components, and now I intend to get another one for my Orbi.   I know this may sound ... 
Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
@soix nothing exotic, Blue Jeans CAT6 @david_ten thank you for sharing, though the SR solution seems out of my price range right now. I do have a DIY grounding solution known as "battery ground tweak". @mitch2 TBH I didn't expect much (if any) c...

Furutech FI-48 NCF (R) vs. FI-50 NCF (R)

Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"
Seemed like the OP asked a legit question that devolved into a discussion about the veracity of Amazon reviews and Chi-Fi QC vs SQ. Has anyone listened to a D50 vs something more expensive? Or any of the Topping/SMSL type DACs vs the Chords, Mytek... 
The best looking speakers
The latest T+A Criterion looks superb finished in whitewashed oak.The speakers are refined and lowkey enough to pass as designer furniture IMO.https://www.ta-hifi.de/en/loudspeakers/criterion-ctl/criterion-s-2200-floor-standing-speaker/ 
Oyaide Cables
Can vouch for Oyaide, incredible performance for the money.Neo by Oyaide deserves a lot more attention, but its less known in the audiophile world. I prefer the AXIS-303 bulk cable over the Black Mamba V2 for my amp and DAC despite the lack of dra... 
Looking for my first DAC
Do you require multiple inputs and/or volume control? Will the DAC be used for Redbook only or MQA/HiRes playback? 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
