Personal experiences and learnings....
If I have a great balanced transformer and kick ass ground, it's still was not enough to clean up the mains.
That its important to restart the OS on the O if I pull the ethernet from the T router due to a storm.
That I need to restart the OS on the O as a routine, once a week.
I learned that I still need to shut down and restart my house router that connects to the T router to get the best results.
(The modem not as often)
I learned to scan and choose the least noisy wifi channels to get the best sound ...Some how this appears to have an effect.
I learned that properly torqued drivers are mandatory and the interval of follow up cant be 6 months.
Of course your mileage and tolerance to such minutia may vary.

1 - When you say scan channels do you mean WiFi? What uses WiFi in your setup besides a mobile device (phone, tablet)?
2 - Drivers for what components?

Like i said, somehow wifi on the connected house router has an effect. When I find a better 2.4 or 5g it appears to sound better.
No idea really.. Just seems to have a correlation..
Torqued drivers(speaker drivers).
My home router is wired-only. I have a separate Asus mesh which provides the WiFi. I could tweak that.
I guess taking advantage of the motherboard XDMI assembly when building an Olympus might be a good time to make a one-minute video. It would be terrible if a mistake when changing a daughterboard ruined an XDMI card that costs €15,000.

I may have something on my phone - not good enough to post officially but might be helpful to visualize things.
If anyone needs help, ping me in private message, and I will try to dig it out or help.
We'll get professional videos done at some point.
...does this help? Not a video, but better than line drawings. May I recommend reading the manual *and* checking this post? Let's hope this paste works...

I don't know if people were posting about the Lampi. I just wanted to mention it in case someone does have a Lampi and opens up the case. Your post is very useful.
FWIW, I've found every server I've used to run Roon audibly benefits from a periodic reboot. Unsure if Roon has a memory leak somewhere, or hoards resources, or something else above my pay grade, but I'd be surprised if the reason is unique to Olympus.Personal experiences and learnings....

Been playing with temperature and its effect on the O.
Normally, I have the area at 73°f which puts the O at 39 to 40c...
I've lowered the temp by 1 degree to 72°f in the area.
The O runs now at 37 to 38°c during playback..
To my ears, 37 to 38°c sounds better..
At 40°c, I can hear a bit of a change ...
It's at a cost keeping the area cooler but, to me, it's worth it.
Climbing out of the weeds now..

Hi Marc! I may have missed it but what are you using to cool the area of your O? Photo possible?
