Bought some iFi toys, an ifi iPower 12V and DC iPurifier to be specific, to play with. I'll deploy them in my 'upstream' network stuff, not in the system downstairs. The iPower is now connected to my Fritzbox DSL router and I'll move the DC iPurifier around a bit. It's now in between the LPSU and the FMC connected to my music server.
Also on order some SATA cables as I got inspired by Tubelover2 (the same guy as rb2013 of Head-Fi who got banned there and moved all his discussions to the US Audio Mart forum) and other people participating in a thread there: https://www.usaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1172
Some months ago I sold the Paul Pang SATA cable I once used in my previous music server so just checking with the cheap examples discussed there if a SATA cable matters in the upstream music server feeding the SMS-200. On order are two Akasa Silver SATA 45cm, one 100cm version and the Coboc 18" one they rave about. Coincidentally I already had a Asus black&white cable in my possession. Will try these once they come in. These same cables have been discussed on CA a few years back as well.
Finally I've removed the WiFi board from my 250Pro, not sure (yet) what changed how because of that and the other things I did (nearly) at once. I may never find out too as I don't plan to put it back since I don't use it.
