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

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.

@audio-b-dog time for me to give you a music recommendation :)

check out a hidden gem of violin by the name of Mischa Elman. Listen to his Tchaikovsky concerto with London philharmonic on DECCA. If you have never heard Elman, you’re in for a treat!

Mischa Elman is lovely. He gets a lot of emotion out of the violin and has a distinctive style. It is too bad that the recording was so compressed. I would have loved to hear that violin with full sound.

Going back to older musicians (Elman died in 1967 I think) Geza Anda is a wonderful pianist. He played Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto behind the film "Elvira Madigan." I have a box set CD of him playing all of Mozart's piano concertos. He has the right touch. A very good recording of his, much better than Rubenstein, is Brahm's 2nd Piano Concerto. I did not think much of it until I heard him play it with Ferenc Fricsay conducting. He also plays all of Bartok's piano concertos with Fricsay.
