ethernet connection for Netflix amazon etc.
I use a Roku Ultra and have been very happy. I stream Hulu Plus and Netflix. It also enables me to stream my Blu Ray collection from JRiver Media Center through their media player. I still can't figure out (I would love too) why the surround sound... 
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
Sorry to hear about the fire. I actually love that streaming is taking over to a certain degree. I use a few shops on Ebay for cd's now and buy for really cheap (moviemars, getimportcds, to name a couple). Best Buy now has switched to a random bin...

Project Classic versus Rega P2
@Steve I will. I am not too familair with turntables other than the least vibration the better. The tables at this price point seem to be plug and play which makes me happy. 
Project Classic versus Rega P2
Thanks for your input!  I will check out the Technics  also. I still go back and forth about a record player for that sole purpose. I have no intention of buying the LPs of albums I currently own. Also, I find myself streaming Tidal more and more ... 
downloading music worth listening to on a computer
I bought an AudioQuest Dragonfly Black for listening to music on my laptop.  I use it primarly when my son is asleep. Otherwise, I now stream Tidal through BluOs on my main system.

When I first started the hobby and thought Monster Cable was the end all of cable and power products, I must admit that the Signature Series HTS5100 won. You have to love the blue lights! 
What is your most beautiful component?
I strongly believe looks are just as important as sound. I now have my UDP-LX500 on a Butcher Block Acoustics stand and I love it more everyday. My Furman power conditioner would take second place.

I almost forgot to name the publications. I read Hi-Fi World and Hi-Fi Choice.

I currently subscribe to The Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I buy the UK publications direct from their website. The cost per magazine drops from $14.99 per magazine in store to a bit over $4.99. Now, I get two UK magazines for the price of one i... 
to fb or not to fb... that is the ?
I tried Facebook twice. In the end, it became nothing more than stress, aggravation, and a political platform. I am happy to have found Audiogon. 
Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
I do all firmware updates through a usb stick, because for whatever reason searching for upgrades over the internet does not work. I can't figure it out and neither can BluSound tech support. They offered a remote log in session to help, but I am ... 
Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
I  personally use BluSound and started a Tidal subscription with MQA for $19.99 a month and have a free trial of Amazon Music HD. I initially almost abandoned BluSound because the setup process is awful and took a while to get going. I also had to... 
Whats playing on your system today?
