Aurender integrated streamer/DACs
@mhwilliford  If I may ask, what is your budget for DAC + Streamer?   
ETHERNET CABLES
@samgar2  Sam, the only way to find out if the extender above your floor will work or not is by relocating the VFios near Zenith. And run the existing 35ft back to your TV from VFios. To me, the shorter high quality ethernet cable + filter should...

@samgar2  Sam, it just dawn on me. Can you not move your Verizon Fios router near Zenith and avoid buying mesh wifi system? Unlike conventional routers from AT&T that are typically ‘chained’ to wall phone line or cable outlet, Verizon Fios is...

@dpop Thanks for posting the article. @samgar2 I would check out Amazon for mesh system, you need atleast two pods. One act as a router directly hardwired into your Verizon router and other pod as satellite which is going to sit next to your ... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@samgar2  As a suggestion, I would look into a mesh network to eliminate the 35ft cord. You will have much more flexibility to play with better and shorter Ethernet cord and passive filters from the ‘pod’ located near your streaming device. IME, ...

@audphile1  You beat me to it, I was just thinking of asking OP what did he end up trying?

@blisshifi You’re probably right! If I am faced with the decision to pick between Taiko + XDMS with marginal gains over N30SA, I am very likely to keep the $10K savings. The T+A SDV3100 scenario you shared is what I find most interesting. If yo...

“Not only does it sound better, the N30SA costs $10K less” @blisshifi Have you compared Taiko running on XDMS with N30 in your system?  
Leonard Cohen Tribute - Here It Is
@bigquery Thanks for posting. I am a huge fan of Leonard Cohen. This album is simply brilliant, I stayed up way past my bedtime last night listening in repeat mode :-) @russ69, You can pre-order CD from bluenote.com

What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”?
I agree with @pindac. I enjoy reading Mike’s posts, thoughts and invaluable insights. He has helped me tremendously in making good decisions over the years. I hope we can rise above the typical belittling that goes on here by certain members and ... 
What is Your End Game System?
@kota1  Thanks for clarifying 😊

“For now, a Node with an external linear power supply, a great digital interconnect, my DAC and a NAS gives me audiophile bliss. What’s wrong with that?” @dinov There is nothing wrong with the your current system. But your previous statement on...
