Hi Seeker,

I went through a rather circuitous route to end up where I am with my streaming set up. I learned a few points on the way.

1. Only the Sooloos WITH an ID40 or MS600 will give you SQ at least as good as spinning discs. The Sooloos without the extra M box is only marginally better than the alternatives mentioned here (in my case the Sonos) and appreciably less than spinning discs.

2. In spite of my fanaticism to get the best SQ, I preferred the significant reduction in SQ with my Sonos and NAS for the shear convenience, but in the long term I could not live with the compromise.

2. In hindsight I would have gone with the MC200 rather than the C15 for a substaintial cost saving and IMHO only marginal operating benefits.

Aloha,
