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

@audio-b-dog Just shooting from the hip here on your network issues. If you are connected straight to your ATT router and you have a TP-Link system, you might try using TP-Link for everything. I ran into an issue with my wifi extender added to my mesh system, and it was acting as a DHCP (assigning IP addresses) server, as was my mesh system. This created confusion and the risk of duplicate IP addresses. I did not read the whole network part of this thread, as it is lengthy, apologies if this is a repeat. I am very interested in the Meitner part of things, it is currently my aspirational DAC.

Thank you for the info. I basically followed your advice but upgraded my TP-Link for an Eero mesh system. I plugged a mesh into the Meitner MA3i, and everything is working well now.

Glad it worked out.

I just discovered a jazz album to stream: Javon Jackson Plays Dylan. I'm trying another one of his jazz albums and like him.

thanks- very smooth and easy to listen too. Got 2 tracks in and then the wife said "put something I like on now" which means 70's and 80's rock.
