Eversolo T8
The conventional wisdom seems to be that electronics do not require a break in period.   I do not know if this is always true.  In my case, within a short time of getting the T8 I upgraded the power cable and interconnects between the DAC and Inte...

Update.   After dealing with the need to do a hard reset after power glitches, I went to my dealer and by a process of elimination, the issue seems to be using a wired ethernet connection to my mesh router, it was having difficult establishing an ... 
Eversolo T8
I am very happy with SQ.   Not an issue.   I have had a couple of brownouts which then seems to require a hard reset.  Its easy enough to do except if the unit is in an enclosed furniture rack and it needs to be pulled out to find the pinhole. Th... 
Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative?
OP,   The ios only controls the app.  I have the WIIM connected via ethernet to an Asus mesh extender but pure wifi seems fine too.      
Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative?
I use a WIIM Pro feeding a Weiss DAC 204.   The WIIM does the job and the app is better than BS IMHO.  Qobuz connect is flaky.  It was fine initially but the WIIM requires frequent rebooting. Using the WIIM app, it is very solid and does not requi...

Aurender N100h disconnection problems
So I think the issue is the wireless extender.  As a test, I moved the unit to the router room and it has been running for hours without a hitch so far.  Unfortunately this does not solve the issue as the router is no where near the audio setup. ... 
Aurender N100h disconnection problems
It is connected via ethernet cable to a wifi extender. Since I composed the message, I got it playing for about an hour after rebooting the Wifi extender and then as I was changing Qobuz songs, it started acting up.  The display now says "Prepari... 
Speaker questions ProAc, Harbeth, ATC
Much thanks to everyone for comments.  I really would like to listen to new ProAc, ATC and Legacy speakers, before making a decision.  Based on my searching for dealers in Atlanta, I could not find any here or close by. Harbeth is probably off the... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
Update.  After writing my last update, I did get more hiccups with the Node 2i.  Yesterday, I decided to "borrow" a WIIM Pro from Amazon.  So far, using both COAX and Toslink, I have only experienced maybe 2 hiccups last night.  WIIM has Amazon Mu... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
I forgot to mention this.  Someone said they were interested in the Weiss 204.  Notwithstanding the issue I am having, which I am guessing is Node related, the Weiss 204 sound is fantastic.   The detail is amazing, musical and not in the least bit... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
First, thank you to all the contributors.  Very much appreciate the community trying to help me. Update:  I have plugged the Node into a WIFI extender (First Gen Apple Extreme) fed by the final Gen Apple Extreme.  I have the 2 channel set up by m... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
Thank you for these additional suggestions.    For clarity, the "hiccup" I am encountering happens once or twice during every few songs.  It is more of a stutter/momentary skip.  Very noticeable.  Last night, I decided to play CDs from an old Car... 
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
Thank you.  I will try that before looking at higher quality streamers.    
Bluesound
I just signed up for 2 months of Tidal ($2 special).  No issues with the Node or WiiM.  I am noticing a difference in the sound between these streamers into a DAC.  Should there be a difference?  The Node 2i sounds "fuller" and more musical.  The ...
