Hello Brian, that's so funny. I feel like I've gone down so many rabbit holes just like this so many times. It's super fun, cool stuff. When you mentioned you were kind of running on Asus or consumer gates, I was wondering is it the WRTG project? I remember looking at that like a decade, probably two decades ago I think and messing around with it. It seems like it's still around out there. Anyway, I had not heard of that one for Asus routers, that's pretty cool. And the Air Connect stuff, so I'm a big AirPlay fan, like big time. I have a few Apple TVs and things like that for various areas of my house and for me that's cool because they run the Apple HomeKit service and everything like that. But also they just work flawlessly for sort of quasi whole home audio or kind of different zones. There is another one though, if you can't get Air Connect working with the Weem devices, oh geez I can't remember what it's called now. Anyway, I run it on a Raspberry Pi 2 or something like that and it is just flawless. And it's fully AirPlay 2 compatible and it's almost better than like native Apple stuff. I've just never had a problem with it, I don't think about it. If I find that, what it's called, I will send you an email. But if you've got a device out there somewhere connected to your speakers you can probably just plug it in and add that service to it and make it happen. Anyway, it's about time for me to hit the sack. Brian, thanks for coming back to me. I'll send it back to you and I'll be clear on your final. This is KK7 QES. Brian Hey, good stuff. I'd love to hear more about your network and stuff. I know that when I graduate from the ASIS I've been looking at either the UniFi or I wanted to go PF sense or OPN sense, tossing and turning there. We'll see. I think it's ROPIE, R-O-P-I-E-E I think is one of the projects that you're talking about. With the AirConnect though, it's very specifically AirPlay 1. And some people might think AirPlay 2 is better, but AirPlay 1 actually allows lossless at CD quality where AirPlay 2 compresses it to AAC, like 256 kbps or something like that. So you can actually get a better quality over the older AirPlay 1. So that was part of the reason I was looking at this project specifically. And again, there are other ways to skin this cap, but it's the project aspect of it. It's interesting. So anyway, hey, we'll touch base more. Hopefully, maybe if you're at the Halloween rain or shine, I'm going to try to make that event. Anyway, you get some sleep. Have a good night. Thanks for coming back. KK7 QES, KK7 KZ8, I'll be clear. in Shelton, Washington.
