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

@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.

First I have to thank you mightely. I set uip the Eero and without waiting a few days or even a few hours I tested my problem albums. They passed with flying colors. No drop offs. I'll have to let EMM know so they don't keep digging. One question: on Stravinsky's Rite of Spring there are a lot of short tracks which stop for a few seconds in between, but sometimes the music is continuous. Should I try setting the gapless setting on Jplay? Thank you again.
