Finally got the electrician to finish the ethernet cabling in our house. I asked him what cables he used and he specifically said Cat7a ethernet cable. He had problems in getting the ethernet sockets properly wired. Finally, after the third attempt, everything is up and running perfectly well. So that’s finally set! See a sketch of the cabling below.
I also replaced my old marble table with a Milan three-shelf rack. As a matter of fact, the Devialet would perfectly suffice. There’s, however, still a Denon CD player in the shelf. This is for the digitally less advanced who still need a CD for audio to work 
Also I keep my Aurender as a backup. I’ll be running an intensive trial phase. If the network holds up, the I might just as well replace it with a Nucleus. Perhaps!
In addition, I replaced the stands for the ATC SCM 19s with slender stands that rest on floor protectors. I really, really enjoy the SCM 19s!

Very nice! I’ve just put my Aurender on eBay 
spent a weekend re-running every wire to get it tidied up…was successful until i reached the halfway point and then it all went south lol. I have some ideas but will likely just build a box to hide everything.

They are speaker isolation platforms and I can’t for the life of me remember the now defunct company who made them.
As you can see, the chassis spiked to the floor and the platform is spiked to the main chassis.
I am thinking of getting marble for the platform as opposed to the MDF there now .
Being relatively new to Roon, I still need a ‚safety net‘ in the form of an Aurender 
. Even though I don‘t expect it. If my network runs smoothly, alas, Aurender will have to find a new home.
I am still debating how to replace it: with a Nucleus or a Mac Mini. I am surprised how well the setup sounds, despite coming straight of a MacBook Pro.

Thanks @HWZ, they sound great too! 
And thanks again for converting me from tubes to DSP, @RBM 
Of course, this means my little tube amp and my disproportionately big Klipsch Heresy II’s moved to my study room. My wife and daughter think it looks ridiculous. Which, of course, it does. But then again, it suits me 
Sounds great too! (Please ignore the paint and the mess, it’s work in progress, but, for now, not a top priority).

Congrats, Dick! I don’t own the song or album, so couldn’t share it, but it immediately came to mind
Roon still on a HP laptop, but at the end of the year an Intel Nuc8i3.

Have an Intel NUC i7 running Roon Core, in my office.
In-home network is Cat6 cabling to a pair of 5 port Gig switches. One is located in the living room where my main system resides, the other is in the family room. Everything homes back to a wireless router in my 2nd floor office. Nothing really different from the norm.
Main system pictured is:
Paradigm speakers Studio 100 Reference
Sim Audio Moon power amp
Spectral Pre-Amp
PS Audio Directstream DAC w/Bridge II
PS Audio Directstream Memory Player
Micro Seiki Turntable, Tonearm
Mac Mini, Apple keyboard and touchpad, Dell monitor
Family room:
KEF speakers on floor stands, Polk Subwoofer
Onkyo RZ810 surround receiver
Use iPad 6th gen for remote control, mostly.

@Cees_Vreugdenhil where do you get the weights from? And do you notice much of an impact from them sonically or are they just to hold small items in place?
What is that on top of your RPi?
