  First I used a Turtlebeach Audiotron. Then TB bricked it by shutting down their web site, which the Audiotron would query on startup. The Audiotron would look for shared folders with music in them on my LAN. I replaced it with a Grace Digital IRTP800. Used that for many years, until GD bricked it a few months ago by shutting down their web site. So I replace that with a Galaxy Audio RM-IRD. Unfortunately, and I'm pretty mad about it, it has some small number of songs it can "shuffle play". I have more songs than that, so it will only play them starting from the beginning, meaning I only ever hear the first 100 songs or so. GA support does not respond to my queries. So now I'm just using Windows Media Player with my computer's 5 cent DAC until I can find another streaming box. I have a Roku box which does streaming, but apparently none of the engineers at Roku use that feature because while it technically works, it is useless because all the files must be in one folder. Who organizes their music like that? I'm actually baffled why today, 2021, I cannot find a decent streaming audio player.

    You are a better person that me. The second bricking would have had me agitating for revolution. I'd be firing off many sternly worded letters.

    It's not hard to find a USB DAC that will be better than the one built into your computer.
