Server vs. DAC - How you split your funds between the two?
My dac is an endpoint. The JPlay app is used to control from Qobuz (or Tidal). I understand mconnect can work similarly. A good switch can be instrumental in mitigating internet network noise.

Michael Fremer Interview
The interview with Michael Fremer was interesting. I always appreciated Fremer's opinions, and trusted that if he thought something sounds good, it usually does. I agree with Fremer's "audio philosophy" to not obsess. People should listen to music, not to their systems. With analog vinyl...- Conde
