    Hi-End Floor Standing Speaker Production Process / 落地揚聲器製作過程 (音響製造) - Taiwan Speaker Factory

    Entertaining video, but I would not have guessed these speakers to cost over $14k. That's in the territory of the Bowers & Wilkins 804 D4 which is a substantially better made speaker:

    Please, for the love of God - Help me. Revel Performa 3 M106.

    Those should work well. The key thing about attaching speaker cables is to maintain the same orientation (red/black) for both left and right sides. Both the WiiM Amp and your Revel speakers are color-coded to make this foolproof. Enjoy!

    Please, for the love of God - Help me. Revel Performa 3 M106.

    Yes, you can see the two types at either end of the cables I linked. Your speakers appear to be able to accept either. Assuming the banana end fit into the WiiM amp, I'd connect the other end to speakers via spades. It will also work in the opposite orientation: spade end at the WiiM, bananas at...

    $100k speakers Meridian DSP8000 to $

    It's a powered speaker with its own internal DAC circuits. You can attach a streamer to it via S/PDIF (coax, optical, or USB). You'd need a HDMI-to-S/PDIF adapter to connect an Apple TV. If your Arcam processor has S/PDIF out, it can connect that way to the Meridian. If your speaker has analog...

    Ethernet cable to buy / choose

    Well, no reason to go to that extreme. But, yes, CAT5e would have been fine.

    Is there any good, free remote controllable streaming software that runs on x86....

    It seems the nature of these things that there is always "something I don't like" going on. That said, Daphile (LMS) is about as solid as it comes. The current issue with Daphile, though, is that it is stuck on an old version of LMS and shows no signs of being updated. What issues are you having?

    Anybody with M-Audio Delta 1010lt card?

    You can build a cable for less than $22? Your hourly rate is very reasonable!

    Logitech Media Server etc...

    True, but if running one of the "bridge" plugins (DLNA/Chromecast/AirPlay) LMS will support any compatible, battery-powered radio.

    Bypassing Streamer (Wiim) DAC

    We are here -- on ASR -- because even 16/44 deserves accurate reproduction. If a DAC can't even manage to pass 16 bits cleanly, it is to be avoided.

    Need help identifying old interconnects

    Apparently now defunct, I remember when "Vampire Wire" was a brand of packaged cable. Pricing was similar to Monster Cable.

    Need help identifying old interconnects

    Expensive cable, but as described in this review appears to be a different construction than yours: https://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0503/discovercableessential.htm

    I need to listen flac. Which approach is best to use?

    Buy a WiiM Amp, a pair of bookshelf speakers, and some cables. Plug USB flash drive with FLAC files into Amp rear panel. Control via phone/tablet. EDIT: I've just learned there is a beta WiiM app for Windows and MacOS if you prefer to manage via PC.
