Thanks to everyone that has responded, much appreciated.
Update on my listening experience:
I now have a much more pleasing and full sound presentation. I'm still running the same Clarus AES cable but I upgraded the Ethernet cable into the N20. This made a very big difference. Previously I was running an entry level Audio Quest cable but I went way upscale and now have what I was looking for coming out of the Aurender.
Thanks again for the help.
