I would consider making use of their provided inputs originally intended personally! I'm sure there must even be some perverts out there using the Kef's analogue inputs to connect turntables...

They have a plethora of inputs (digital and analogue) so it wouldn't be much of a hardship to plug a cheap up-to-date streamer into them should the integrated streaming get deprecated.

Me too. Great ensemble cast/writers they've got onboard as well.

I agree to a point. But wired is always best. Particularly in new builds/renovations with the ever more stringent thermal regs and the wide use of PIR insulation and foil backed plasterboard. That 💩 isn't just good at reflecting heat its bloody good at attenuating WiFi and cellular signals...

Ubiquiti are a popular prosumer/SME vendor. Their APs are excellent, I would personally steer clear of their router/switch gear though. The long range units you've been recommended are massively overkill in your situation in my opinion. They're intended for deployment in large office...

Finally got around to watching MobLand. I enjoyed it , even if slightly ruined by the hype which it didn't quite live up to, and Brosnan and Mirren's Irish accents.

Not really an issue for music playback. Security is a different matter. If you mean from HDD and fans then fair enough, though been there and done that and I didn't find it an problem. If you mean "electrically" then it's a non issue... Unless I missed it the op didn't elaborate other than...

Music streaming/playback is trivial. A 12 year old laptop is a more than adequate source. Even a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero is a more than capable source. I'd agree that Bluetooth is the weak link here.... Though sceptical you'd reliably be able to hear a difference under blind conditions.

Not really a thing. Media is delivered by CDNs (Content Distribution Networks) ie it's distributed not centralised these days Which in reality means you're streaming from a server either hosted by your ISP within their core network or at their edge (dependant on the size of the ISP) putting it...

"We've looked at the numbers" Really? Please do share them, because that article is clearly utter nonsense. Why would anyone read WHF reviews when they're publishing such low quality articles as this?

You could always have the likes of Ripcaster do it for you, if you don't mind the expense... Though probably cheaper than a CDP unless you've thousands of CDs to rip.

Rayp and my counter to his inaccurate post Both posts were removed. As no doubt will this...

It wasn't your comment he was referring to, hence it hasn't been removed.

Id argue a temporary/disposable email address isn't personally identifying information!
