Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s?
I don’t wanna be the one to link...maybe just the one to drops a hint that there is a new vid out there from a certain HI-Fi Guy, Debunking the music server...specifically the ZENith. Don’t shoot the messenger.  
TOSLINK Optical Signal Splitting?

Do you ever do this before you listen?
The NeilMed link that erik_squires posted is certainly on topic and very helpful. I’m surprised more people with sinus issues don’t use them. I do it once a day before bed (helps snoring too) and sometimes twice, if I have a cold or sinus inflamma...
