Is it time to start a new thread?

I have one of these, too, and it is pretty nice. The initial setup is actually really simple, but it has the ability to be much more advanced. It has worked flawlessly since initial turn-on. We then use several Unifi APs around the house.

I think that rather than trying yet another foam mattress that I end up not liking and thus replacing in a year, we are leaning toward a (bottom end) Hastens. It is a lot of preposterous marketing nonsense, but they are really comfy.

Nice design, Kevin. Any thought to changing the first cap to a pi filter?

Cover does not show up very well -- Willie Nelson sings songs of Lefty Frizzell.

I think it is going to come in around $2400.

Good for you, Steve. The notion that a 3000 year old book somehow represents justification for bigotry is nonsense.

You can plug a 2TB HDD into a Rpi via USB, then connect the Rpi directly to the transporter/touch with a crossover cable. Run Squeezeserver (or whatever they call it these days) on the pi (and possibly a DHCP server to give the touch an IP) and you have exactly what you want with one small extra box. And it would be pretty easy to make a small box that would hold the pi + HDD to bring you back down to a Transporter with a box hanging off the back.

Happy Birthday!

50% thought one thing, 50% thought the other, nobody voted for anything else.

Nice article on Robert Frank in the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/05/magazine/robert-franks-america.html

Some initial pics of the DSHA-2 (which needs to be renamed, but that's what it's called for now.)

... now on Tidal

This strikes me as the right answer. Put it in a big box with a touch screen and use it directly, or use it as a server with a rpi or tablet as the player.

When I was little, we went on vacation in the Bahamas. There was a huge roach in the shower, so I picked up my brother's shoe and threw it at it. I missed, of course, but the roach ran right into the shoe to hide -- problem solved.

Happy Birthday!

Yours as well as our situation was wide open with no kids, and property values are such in Hartford that we can afford something here that we could not even dream about in most other places. But I do think that details can often be changed to meet specific needs while the soul of a house is what it is.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. Nothing will ever match a check list completely so you'll always be disappointed, and no list is ever complete. Too much choice will drive you crazy. Our house is as unlike what we were looking for as can be, and we love it more everyday. Buy the place you walk into and just have to live in.
