Is there much difference in network streamers if internal DAC is bypassed?

It even includes option for types of wall structure, and for anyone curious to explore further, this is a good place to begin. https://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Space_Optimisation_and_Space_Optimisation+

I don’t use it currently with my Sonus fabers, as the modest room gain I get from being about 900mm from the front wall and corners balances the sound well, without boominess, to my ears. However, when I had Revel M16 Concerta2, to see if they were as amazing as in one particular demo (they weren’t!), the artificial bass bump they engineer in was happily cured by the Linn SO. Obviously the Revels work in some rooms, but they didn’t for me. (I tend to prefer the natural roll off from sealed cabinets, a la ATC Entry series, rather than the peak and crash of many ported designs.)

I should give that page a read, so thanks for sharing Nick 😊

Re speakers: it’s incredible how subtle changes to a wooden box & a carbon fibre diaphragm driven by a magnet can make huge differences in presentation, tone & impact.

Also, you know you deserve some SC40a…
