My switch and fiber optic converter cost $100 and work great.   TP link , close out at half price on Amazon.      
DSP vs New Cables ??
I still use a Velodyne SMS 1 for the very reason Juan points out.   It is much better to use DSP for low frequency problems , use the right main speaker for the job along with room treatment.    
Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature?
I love my N200.   Sound quality is exceptional,  great machine   
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
Aurender seems to really be on top of fixing issues.   They made a few tweaks recently.   My Android Tab stays connected , seems like they took care of that problem.    I emailed them through the device for another issue and they were super respon... 
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
Have had the N200 about a month or so and love it.  Much better sounding than the Vault 2i it replaced   
My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each !
Cool list that a blue collar music lover can afford.   
Aurender N200
Aurender made some updates to Conductor 3. It seems completely stable now with Andriod . It looks as if the problem with it losing connection has been solved. Much better.  
At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections?
Some of the best sounding components ever made use only RCA.   The fact that a component has XLR does not mean it's "better"  .   My last preamp, Zesto Leto had a full set of both RCA and XLR inputs and outputs.   Aside from the difference in gain... 
From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions
Enjoy.  It's good to see great products coming from small builders.     
Sonore Rendu or similar
Boxes were half off on Amazon,   everything was less than $90  
Sonore Rendu or similar
I used a pair of TP Link media converters.   Has a SFP port that accepts an optical module.  Works perfectly.  Zero noise or problems converting a Ethernet over AC adapter to optical before my network switch   
A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers
Vault /  Node is a really good value when you factor user interface,  features , sound.   Hard to beat.   
A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers
One of the first things I did when I got my Vault 2i was to plug it into my existing DAC.   It was an improvement,  but like we all often do. I upgraded the DAC.  I enjoyed it for a while then I spent a little over $3k on my current DAC.  It sound... 
To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question.
Even in my early days of separates I always spent more to get the best preamp I could .  It is the heart of a great system, absolutely without question.    Anyone that strongly disagrees most likely has never had a class leading or world class pre... 
Experienced only: What have you done with room correction?
I avoid tone or EQ for my mains.   I use a Velodyne SMS  1 x over / EQ , that is the extent of my electronic room correction.    I barely use the sub but using the SMS -1 makes the low end just right
