The Cambridge Audio MXN10 which is arriving today. Good reviews but I've never listened to it so that will be interesting. I'll be using an older NAD pre and power amp and a pair of Theil 1.2's. I'll start without my old subwoofer and see what it's like but the 1.2's aren't the greatest at low-end so I'll add the SW if necessary. I'd like to start with my ripped CD content but for about $10/month it will stream from Tidal and a few other sources so if I have any trouble serving content then I'll get a Tidal subscription. I'll report back on the Plex side as it goes as well as any other servers I try out. I'm sorta leaning toward Gerbera for it's simplicity and clean looking interface but it comes down to how the server works with the C.A. StreamMagic app as this streamer has no front panel controls. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Mark
