Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?

Pharoah Sanders played with John Coltrane before Trane died. He was not only mentored by Coltrane, but Coltrane thought he was an exceptional sax player to continue his legacy. Considering that legacy, I think Sanders was able to expand it and find his own voice. An analogy I might make is Haydn teaching Mozart and Beethoven. So, I don't compare Sanders to Coltrane, but appreciate that somebody took Coltrane to places he had not yet gone. Think of "Love Supreme" and compare it to what you're hearing from Sanders.

The next album I was going to suggest is "Encounter" by Flora Purim. She has an amazing voice which can go from singing standards to extremely complex abstract jazz. She plays with her husband Airto who plays percussion. On vinyl, Encounter is one of the best sounding albums I have. It streams at 16/44 but sounds good.

The eeros you suggested are relatively inexpensive. Is there any argument for buying the more expensive ones. Considering that two TP Links cover our entire house without problem. Also, if I switch networking to DNS will I have any problems elsewhere, like smart TVs?

@audio-b-dog I heard elements of Love Supreme on Phaorah Sanders Karna album. I need more time with this to appreciate it for what it is. What sticks out initially is Pharoah trying to be Coltrane but I need to go deeper. 
Familiar with Flora Purim but haven’t listened to her in quiet some time. 
 

Yes the higher models of eero provide better coverage. Eero 6 covers up to 1500sq ft per node, eero 7 covers up to 2000sq ft. As I said earlier, they are backwards compatible so you can mix different generation nodes. 
If I were you I’d get the eero 7 in a 2 or 3 piece set and add cheaper nodes later on.

I ordered 3 Eero 7s. What do I need to do to change the networking format, or will it come set up in a way that it will be compatible with the Meitner MA3i?

I love Pharoah Sanders. I didn't always love him with Coltrane because sometimes they sounded like two dinasours on mountaintops miles away from each other screeching into the night. That was a bit much for me. You can hear Pharoah Sanders play like that on "Thembi." Although the last cut, Thembi, is beautiful. Sanders has another album where he plays with a singer, "Pharoah Sanders and Norman Conners."

BTW, as I write this I am listening to Betthoven's Triple Concerto (no drops so far) hi-rez with Nicola Benedetti. It is so much more lively and lyrical than the record I have with David Oistrakh, Sviatoslav Richter, and Herbert von Karajan, whose conducting I often don't like. I probably bought that album because almost anything recorded after 1980 will be digitally stored. 

@audio-b-dog start with eero as is. Don’t worry about changing DNS. Let it run a few days and see if you still encounter issues. 
In the eero app, you will see settings, advanced networking, DNS 

but wait with making changes. Let’s see if eero on its own solves your issue.

Oistrakh and Rostropovich are absolutely incredible. As to Karajan, he usually does Beethoven symphonies pretty well. His Tchaikovsky is very good too. May be the concertos isn’t his thing…I need to listen. 
My favorite recordings by Oistrakh are Beethoven, Prokofiev and Shostakovich concertos. Rostropovich’s Shostakovich is unbelievable as well, both as conductor (listen to the Shostakovich 5 on LSO) and performer (cello concerto)

I'll take a listen. I saw Alisa Weilerstein play Shostakovich's cello concerto live. It's a difficult piece. I also saw a young cellist with the Colburn school play it. When I was a child my father took me to hear David Oistrakh conduct while his son Igor played the violin. I'm sure it was Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. I heard Patricia Kopatchinskaja play Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducting. They tore that piece up, replacing what is usually played as resonant beautiful notes with irony. Some people hated it. I loved it. Female irony at what men usually take so seriously.
