Any holes in my streaming rig?

To the OP

Gaps in streaming rig?  The streamer seems quite good, but you probably meant to ask about your network.  You have dipped a toe in with there furutech cable.  The rest is quite a hole that $1000s could certainly be spent trying to fill and it could be very deep and most likely worthwhile if you can justify the cost.

Perhaps start with an ifiaudio ipower for the mesh and try to use a different AC outlet to you hifi rig.  Ideally don't use that mesh point for anything else to minimise the workload its under. This will give you a hint of the hole.

You might also consider a server to offload work from the airlense.  Then there is a plethora of network things to learn about.

@mclinnguy I have over two thousand CDs, and an equal number of LPs. The listening room is upstairs over the garage, and the bulk of the collection is downstairs. Fortunately for sonics, but unfortunately for storage, the long walls are non-parallel, i.e., slanted like the roof. So, you can’t have storage upon them or up against them without wasted space behind. Honestly, the room sounds pretty good! Particularly considering the stereo shares space with drums, P.A., guitar amps, and recording equipment. 

@dbastin You are correct, sir. I used inaccurate terminology. It is the possibility of improving my network that I'm curious about. 

My very recent awareness of dedicated audio network products hints at what a potential money pit that could be. 

I appreciate the very specific suggestions contained in your second paragraph. I intend to start there in the new year.

Happy holidays to all!

Ok, you win!

I see that. Who are your favourite drummers? 

I was vaguely aware that things called switches and filters existed. What the hell are they? Do I need them? Can I afford them? I’m curious. 

A few years ago I thought the same thing. I read about this Etherregen, huge thread over on Audiophilestyle. Is this thing going to make a $700 difference in my system? I bought it and it did, at the time it was slight. There was a 30 day guarantee, but although I wasn’t sure that was the best $700 I could have spent, I kept it in my system.

As my system evolved, and the resolution improved with each component upgrade I decided to take it out of the system a while back. Holy cow, I sure noticed the difference now. The funny thing about digital, you think it sounds great, there is no grain or etched sound, until some of it is removed and then you realize well damn, I did have some grain! And then once you hear it with its new smoothness, blacker backgrounds and openness after some filtering there is no way you can go back.

Etherregen version I is now sold out, Last I heard Alex had 7 returns from the first 3,200 sold, so most people felt the same way I did. I will probably end up going like many others and upgrade from this etherregen to a Tempus. Not a small purchase. I also own the smoothlan, and with a 30 day guarantee I kept it too. You don’t know until you try. 

I jumped down the "specialty audio" rabbit hole about 40 years ago, and all I know for sure is that it has no bottom. 

You got that right. 

If someone is in the mood for some technical read:

@gita 

Your room looks great. Absolutely true that lots of small random reflective surfaces can help sonics. Your speaker placement looks great. Love the system.
