@Orange5o just had an excellent suggestion for his rack height, it always pays to communicate such things and all racks are still unique.🤪

Shipping no later than Monday. Finish can make the eyes shine like tiny jewels.
Speaking of which, now that i won't need, free to a good home, the Snake Oil interconnect for short stack from here https://snakeoilsound.com/products/...it-modi-magni-vali-stack-free-shipping-to-usa

If anyone is doing a modi-magni stack and wants a cleaner connection

In the meantime I may well turn these three pieces of wood into a mini rack. There is a burled section that should be the top shelf.
Does the top piece have a finish on it? The sheen is remarkable.

I used mineral spirits so I could examine the grain. I made sure to use that section, this is it now. I will use it for the very top shelf.

My streamer is either an iPhone SE or an iPad 9 (the last one with lightning connector), Music streaming service is Apple Music, not excellent, but not sucks.... I made it simple to use, I do not want to turn on few device for streaming music, I only need to switch on the Schiit amp and the Modi Multibit 2 dac, call me lazy and stubborn ...
Efficient, effective

I don't use Roon as I don't figure the management of my library of audio files is yet worth the expense of a Roon subscription - just not necessary for me at this point - but Roon should be able to handle virtually any files you hand to it, doesn't matter the source; ripped CDs or vinyl, or purchased online downloads.

For a small form factor, well constructed, high quality box streamer, look at the Cambridge MXN10 I mentioned a few comments above. It's a great little device with awesome sound quality. Qobuz integration in Cambridge's StreamMagic app is mostly very good. It's just a groovy little plug'n'play device, and quite affordable, too.
MXN10 works great - never burps, its about 40' away (two walls and a massive fridge also in the way) from the WIFI. I use TIDAL. By comparison the "Zen" never worked using wifi - even less than a foot away - a beta product if I've ever seen one.

You should try living on the edge of a swamp in south Mississippi.
The wildest thing we have are the co-eds, I live on the outskirts of a college town. 😜 I am on a private street with forests nearby but ten minutes from the heart of downtown.
