Updated all drivers and disabled pretty much every piece of hardware I don't use (Wimax, Wifi, etc.).Latency looks better in LatencyMon presently.  Fingers crossed.

Did a BIOS update and that has definitely helped. Still getting higher latency but not as bad. Going to try some of the other steps now.EDIT:  Doing a search for "Windows 10 latency" yielded a lot of good results.

I found a program called LatencyMon.  Here's what it had to say: CONCLUSION_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio ...

I’ve got the bare minimum installed presently and I’ve done a number of the optimizations (after djones51 suggestions) and it’s still occurring. I’m beginning to suspect the unpowered USB hub that I have attached. Disconnecting and we’ll see.EDIT:...

Thanks for the suggestions.  Last night I suffered a bout of frustration and took a more scorched earth approach:  I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of Win10.  :-)  Now, I'm going to start listening and then adding stuff back in and s... 
Educate me on music streamers, please.
@veroguy -I ended up returning the Node 2i.  Even though it could play Deezer I wasn't able to get all the functionality that I could get from the app on my laptop.  I'm starting to look at the options you mentioned before (and my willingness to s... 
Why would I need Roon?
@twb2 - thanks for providing the FAQ.  Unfortunately, it doesn't quite do what I said.  It will only play songs similar to the artist chosen when Roon radio started.  It even says "Playing music similar to..."  There's no way to choose a wide rang... 
Why would I need Roon?
How are you using Roon Radio? I thought it just made a station based on the last song played which wouldn't be diverse enough for me (I like a lot of different stuff). I'd like a station based on multiple artists or my favorites (like Deezer and S... 
Looking for "perfect" streamer....
@cdamiller5 - seems like a steal at $15k.  Lol. 
Looking for "perfect" streamer....
@kairosman - was just thinking about that one.  Looks pretty awesome.  Plus, it has USB input for connection to a computer so anything I can't get through its streaming service I could send via the PC USB.  The only question I have (that I haven't... 
Looking for "perfect" streamer....
I think I want to get away from my PC if possible.  Right now I have system sounds coming out of my stereo which annoys the crap out of me so I have to toggle between the sound card that provides system sounds and the Codex which is just for music.

@pcrhkr- This one:   https://innuos.com/en/catalog/go/zenmini-mk3-1tb-hdd How would he add Deezer?

@tpreaves- I did put it in quotes didn't I? LOL.  @steakster - Wow. Those look great but maybe I should have put a price limit on them. The off-ramp is $1,299 and I didn't see a price for the other.  How about something under $1k?  :-)
