Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else?
Game, set and match, I guess… 
< $400 USB Cable Contenders Late 2021
Direct comparison with Supra, Acoustic Revive, Oyaide Continental 5S silver and Artisansilvercables, both single and double 5V. Immediacy, leading edge, reverb and soundstage all outstanding. Intona selects individual cables on maximum conformity ...

@audiotroy your continuous shilling of archane fringe products is tiring and not contributing anything of value.

Highly recommended: Intona Reference + Isolator 
What is the latest greatest word in isolation footers for amps? stands?
With suspended wooden floors I’d look at sandbags or Symposium shelves,  
Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well
If there ha been progress in DAC technology in the last few years, it hs been in the quality of clocking and the implementation of I2s or USB ports. The basic chips or ladder designs are maature. That said, significant progress in these 2 areas ha... 
Ethernet Cables
For what it’s worth: once you have a half-decent cat8 cable, using EMO and DXE ISO-Plus filters has a substantially larger impact on SQ than better cables.

Antelope Zodiac DAC non DSD or DSD
I have used both the Zodiac Gold and currently the Zodiac Platinum. They are both at the top of the Delta-sigma bunch not displaying any of the shrillness normally associated with the technology and giving a very musical and detailed image of soun... 
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
Watt Puppy? 
help please? connecting power amp to streamer/dac without preamp?
Rather than relying on digitsl attenuation get yourself a passive preamp like a Modsquad. Digitsl attenuation gets lossy in the bottom part of the volume range. 
Fuses
Lordy Lord, why are some people always hell bent to render a perfectly civil discussion useless by resorting to dogma and insults? The assumption that everybody else are idiots tends to exclude the one idiot in the plot from consideration….

Arrogant ignorance should be ignored; or to quote Sokrates: ‘ the only thing I know for sure is that I know nothing.’ 
"Power Cords-More Recent"
Having had a vast array of different cords over the years in varying configurations my take is that having the biggest gauge of OCC copper tends to sound best: think Acoustic Revive and Nordost Valhalla; many of the multi-litz cables suffer from t...
