Does the streamer effect sound quality
Streamers make a bigger difference than I ever thought they would.  I have gone from a Cocktail X45 to an Auralic Aries G2.1, then to the Aurender N20, the difference in sound quality was a huge leap every time.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
Thanks ozzy, I think you were mentioned somewhere in the several messages between John and I.  And hey, by the way I have been working on getting my speakers leveled by the base all day and what do you know, they sound great and no one seems like ...

Thanks @jmfinney I can tell just from the conversations with John from Townshend that they care a great deal about customer service.

Well, I took a leap of faith and went ahead and ordered the Townshend's. Thanks ozzy for the recommendation, I will let you know how they sound when I have a chance.

@ozzy  Yep, tweakers are going to tweak.  I can't help myself.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
@kennyc The IsoAcoustics made a big difference in the sound of my Sopra’s over the factory spikes and I have been pretty happy with them, but I know there is probably something better out there. So far the Townshends are at the top of my list ju... 
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
@ozzy  That is what I started out with, but in my room it drove me crazy that everyone sounded like they were sitting down, only after tilting them backwards the sound changed to a more realistic sound stage with performers standing.  And yes the...

@ozzy  When you set up your Sopra's do you level the base of the speaker or the top?  When I first got mine I leveled the base of the speaker which caused the mid-range driver to be pointed downward, as a result the soundstage sounded like the mu...

Thanks Ozzy, I have heard of those and read some really great reviews about them.  I just totally forgot about those, so thanks for reminding me.  As a whole, I have been pretty happy with the Gaia's but thought maybe I can squeeze a little more o...

Thanks for the update @markmuse sounds like I may have to try it out after all.

@dickieboy  That puts things into a whole new perspective, for me at least.  I may be back in the game if that is correct.

@lalitk  I did read something about Aurender getting Roon, just don't know when that will happen.  My concern is the Airlens will only be a marginal improvement over the N20 that it would not be worth the investment, or the cost of yet another su...

The whole you need Roon in order to stream Qobuz through the Airlens is probably a deal breaker for me.  I have posed this same question to PS but have not heard back from them yet.  I guess I will just have to be happy streaming Qobuz through the... 
Help with streamer software
I am trying to learn as much as possible about Roon but I am a little confused about how it works. Can I just download the Roon software to my laptop or tablet and stream Qobuz through that, or do I need a Nucleus in order to use it? I just read a... 
Help with streamer software
@lalitk  You are probably right and I probably will, my curiosity will more than likely win out as usual.  I don't stream that much but with the availability of so much music on Qobuz that may change.  I have been trying to avoid Roon, my Aurende...
