@soix No I do do not run cables from my WIRELESS streamer(s) to my mesh node (which by the way is simply a wireless router that can be daisy chained) a simple google of the Asus AiMesh would have cleared that up for you and what I'm talking about.But you are not really interested in learning anything just presenting yourself as a know all. My streamers are AGAIN wireless and that is all I'm interested in is truly wireless streaming. You are assuming MESH actually means something more then a daisy chained wireless router system.Most new wireless routers offfer the feature of creating a MESH system if you have more then one unit; and if you are tech savvy they really don't need to be the same brand to create a MESH WIFI system. Yes I understand I can put one of my MESHED WIFI wireless routers in another room DUH, but I have them placed to offer the best coverage for my entire home which is why I have 4 of them and do not want to minimize signal in another part of my home for a freakin $1500.00 dac. I spent quite a bit of money, time and trial and error on my routers to have the coverage I want and really need in my home for me and my family, disrupt that for a dac? Who's the fool here?
Equipment should serve me not the other way around. I'll say it one last time...
I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A FUNCTION I WILL NOT USE. A LAN BASED STREAMER IS NOT FOR ME, HOWEVER THE REPORTED SQ OF THE R26 IS COMPELLING THUS MY INTEREST AND REASON FOR BEING ON THIS THREAD I WAS TEMPED TO PURCHASE ONE LAST WEEK ON SALE. I AM ASSUMING A NON STREAMING R26 IS ON THE HORIZON. THERE ARE VERY GOOD WIFI BASED WIRELESS STREAMERS OUT THERE, I ALREADY OWN 3. I HAVE A VERY ROBUST WIFI SETUP IN MY HOME,EVERYTHING INTERNET BASED IN MY HOME IS TRUE WIRELESS "AND I LIKE IT LIKE THAT". I WILL WAIT FOR A NON STREAMING VERSION OF THE GUSTARD R26 OR A WIRELESS ONE. Did any of that deviate from what I've been saying from the begining?
