Music Streamer/Processor Upgrade 27Mar18

We had a quad-core Core i7 Dell XPS13 with 4K and touch screen unused from our conversion to mainly Macs. And while my Win10 Surface Pro was decent for music playback through JRiver MC23, there were some drawbacks (WiFi only, old USB controller, etc.). So, I repurposed the Win10 XPS13 as my primary music streamer outputting USB to the Schiit stack, and retired the Surface Pro. Truth is that the market value of the XPS is painfully low - else I'd have sold it. The migration was pretty easy but I did need to get a license conversion from the Fidelizer guy (which he gave me free) as he ties his code to the machine ID. Fidelizer is key for me on Win10 as it turns off unneeded non-audio processes or runs them on a separate core and Win10 is notorious for turning stuff on again despite prior actions. I haven't had dropouts or other audio aberrations created by the PC since using Fidelizer; it runs on each startup to keep the PC "clean."  Sounds like blither, I know, but when you are optimizing audio processing, these things count.
