The thing I previously accepted to be true (read in reviews but which I never verified until now), namely that with the microRendu/SMS-200 the upstream hardware and network infrastructure no longer mattered, simply was not true. I also expanded more on it and other reasons in the previous pages of this topic, so please read back a bit.
Thx, that was somewhat my suspicion but wasn't sure.
The referenced CA Thread, and it's positive results on my system, have made such an impression on me that I am also considering taking it a step further. The Melco device and it's DSM (Direct Streaming Mode via on-board DHCP service) caught my eye the other day and I have begun to contemplate if it would be possible to have a direct signal path via Ethernet from NAS to Music PC (hosting Roon & HqPlayer) and then to the mR via bridge. (no switch /router in between) Want to approach my local audio dealer this week and see if he has a Melco to test. Will let you know how things turned out if you are interested.
