    Very interesting, thank you. It'll be worth comparing some of those to their Opticon series for my use case.

    I'm glad you didn't get one of my uncle's Stanley Cup rings, which somehow wound up offered on Ebay several years ago (our side of the family is not quite sure how). But a couple of my cousins -- his kids -- pooled some funds and were top bidders in its auction, so now it's back in the family...

    Gratuitous cat photo to replace a mangled post I mistakenly saved.

    I'm more interested in the Maurice Richard photo. My uncle played in the NHL back in the day...well, lots of days ago. And he played with the Rocket on the Canadiens over 3 seasons ('47-'50) during the course of his long career.

    I've used both. I have exceptionally clean WiFi and have noticed no difference in SQ or stability, really. If you already have Ethernet where it'll go, I'd use that as a matter of course. Whichever connections you use, though, best practice is to make sure to give your WiiM devices static IP...

    Unless you listen only to Apple Music, SQ on WiiM will be equal to or better than streaming from an iOS device. IMHO, the only significant function WiiM lacks *currently* is digital USB out. I expect they'll address that down the road, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. At the moment I'm...

    It'll be *announced* on May 9th (well, it's sort of been already on WiiM's forums). But I don't expect to see it GA in retail until July or so.

    From what I've observed over my long lifetime, when it comes to marriages, upgradeitis is definitely a loser's game.

    This sounds like Auralic. Kinda.
