Solid wire Stephen?
Sure, that will work. I used stranded wire, but solid wire will work, too. The most important attribute for grounding applications is impedance, so any quality or design that will reduce impedance will be beneficial. Obviously, larger gauge will have lower impedance than a smaller gauge wire. This is why the Alpha cables sound better than the Venom/Delta and why Omega sounds better than Alpha (though the CMode filter helps, too.) The Shunyata ground cables are stranded, not solid wire, FWIW.

If you segment a system, where you would connect a DAC, to the Altaira SGC where they are connected is the Server, the Switch and the Router or the Altaira SGC where the amplifier and preamplifier are connected.
Try it both ways and go with what set-up sounds best in your system. Either approach is valid, so let your ears be your guide. When I had my Lampizator, I was connecting ER and the Lampi to one SG Altaira, and the pre, phono stage and amp to the other SG Altaira hub.
