Package Has Disappeared in USPS System
Well, I cannot say what will happen in your case, but USPS was horrible for me this holiday season.  I ordered custom interconnects from Audio Art, Rob had them built quickly, placed in the mail quickly and immediately sent me a tracking number.  ... 
Everything matters
+1 @ghdprentice , I just moved from a BMC Ultra DAC to a Meitner MA3 and as an experiment, I removed my Etherregen, AD clock and the AD LPS powering them. Turns out, to me, sq improved quite a bit -- smoother, more musical and more detailed, with ... 
Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
Agreed! Just turned 60 and find that my 13-year-old daughter is infinitely more adept at using smart phones, computers, steaming TV services, etc. than I am. What a shock, and here I thought I was young and with it. With audio, however, she hasn’... 
Meitner i upgrades
I'm in queue for the upgrade or a swap through my dealer.  I am waiting for someone here to relate the difference in SQ between the two which will hopefully be an improvement.  
Meitner MA3
@singere -- I won’t enter a "payment method" to respond to DM’s per AG’s silly rules. In my case, I use the Zenith MKIII as a Roon Core and the streamer in the MA3. Ethernet into the Zenith and Ethernet out from the Zenith to the MA3. Eliminating ... 
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
For me if I just count cables, it's about 10%.  But, if I add, rack, running dedicated lines, and power conditioners it's closer to 17%.  At this point, if I want new cables, I will research and learn to build my own.  
Meitner MA3
I also have the MA3, stepping up from the BMC UltraDac.  The MA3 is more detailed, relaxed and musical at the same time. A difficult task to allow microdetails to shine while enhancing the musical whole.  It does everything right to me, especially... 
Streamer for LTA Aero
@audphile1, agreed.  In my case the router is 20 meters from the Zenith.  The details of proper EMI/RFI minimization are legion, but seem to be application specific   
Streamer for LTA Aero
I started with the Zen but fairly quickly moved to the Zenith MK3.  Much better sound to me and no external lps required.  Originally, I chose Innuous becase of its quality ripping ability and ripped my entire collection.  But, found, as others ha... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
I have been following this thread with great interest and purchased both the Argentum X (XLR ICs) and the Mirus ethernet cable. I bought the Mirus cable first and found that I really liked it a lot better than my Via Blue and TWL Freedom ethernet... 
IsoAcoustics GAIA
I have the same Gaia II's under my SF Olympica III's and certainly experience the same sonic benefits you describe.  I also run SVS Sound Path subwoofer isolators under my Rel's.  With both of these isolators in place, I can now hear a defined bas... 
Streamer/Ripper/Storage
+1 on @soix ’s recommendation. I have the Zenith Mk3 and had the same initial considerations as you. That streamer works and sounds just great. The Zenith is well regarded here but, you will of course receive additional recommendations for streame... 
So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about.
+1 @hilde45 very true, and an important distinction.  
The Music Room
I've bought from and sold to TMR in last few years. They have always been wonderful and efficient to deal with. As has been said, no hassle and no time wasted. I could have sold my old speakers (PSB Imagine T2's) for more and possibly my Bel Canto... 
Rigid outlets for Heavy cables
