Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think.
An Innuos Zen Mini 3 sounds like it would work for you. However, as you already have a DAC then maybe go up a level to the Zen 3. The CD ripping could not be more user friendly. Pop a CD in. Set it to fast or quiet (slower) mode and it pops out ab... 
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
A 1990 Sony BDP CDP. Too long ago to remember which one but for “light but tight bass” read “next to no bass at all”.  
Neil Young calls out Tidal
Neil Young once demonstrated that he didn’t know the difference between dynamic range and frequency range. Man’s an arse.  
New wireless bridge and ethernet cable.
A wireless bridge is a repeater. If neither of those terms are familiar to you then there’s this thing called the internet… Forgive the sarcasm but it was a straightforward question. Others elsewhere have kindly provided a brilliant answer which ... 
New wireless bridge and ethernet cable.
Ironic really. Posted the concise version and was criticised by even more posters for not providing detail or context. Apparently, the answer to “which wireless bridge” is “buy a new streamer”. Oh no, it’s actually “bin your amplification”. Nope, ... 
New wireless bridge and ethernet cable.
@ghdprentice As per the original post. Insufficient sockets for “extra” devices. I simply need a better quality wireless bridge which can then be located in a socket away from the DAC and physically on the other side of the room where there is a s... 
Decware integrated
I’d be looking for an integrated. No concerns about the wait for me.  
Best music in 2021
She appears on the Our Native Daughters with Rhiannon Giddens.  
Decware integrated
@wmbode I’d be interested to know where you ended up on this. Did you purchase the Zu? How about the Decware? I have Soul Superfly and am wi during about Decware.  
Roon software bug with Innuous Zenith 3?
Full integration with Tidal is coming though.   
Roon software bug with Innuous Zenith 3?
@chorus if you have an Innuos Zenith and Roon just turn the latter off. The sound quality using just Sense is considerably better.  
Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them?
I have Soul Superfly and want to move from endless boxes to an integrated. They apparently don’t mate well with SS but do people have examples of good SS matches? I’m otherwise looking at Decware or similar with a digital front end of Innuos/Chord.  
a remarkably basic question about Roon
And I think that’s the key point here. Some talk about Roon as though it is incredible and god’s gift to music. It’s not. It’s software.   Like all software it comes with bugs and like all software the content, process and UI are very personal  t... 
a remarkably basic question about Roon
@northman do you have outstanding queries about Roon? How have you been finding it since you started your trial? You’ve not posted at all on this second page aside from the above request. Thoughts on the interface? Recommendations “engine” etc? I... 
a remarkably basic question about Roon
Far from it @shooter41. If it’s not relevant then I don’t raise it. Struggling to see how it would not be directly relevant to how people found a UI.
