Digital Cable (again).
Do yourself a favour and try Acoustic Revive DSIX. Haven‘t found anything that comes close.

@sdl4,do try the Intona Isolator if you are trying to improve your usb conection. Also: keep your USB cables as short as possible 
Best Cable Option: Streamer to DAC
99% of the back catalogue is redbook. Presently the best connection is mainly dependent on the quality of the interface implementation between streamer and DAC. Increasingly, the engineers spend their efforts predominantly on USB. There are howeve... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
@bifwynne I am surprised that you have no benefit from upsampling. Have you tried inserting an Insulator into your USB connection? Does your DAC have a BNC input for a master clock? Both of these might help in making it more audible.

Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers?
The land of Kondo, Shindo, Allnic, Airtight and Wavac: SETs are Japan’s speciality and with high efficiency speakers still in a league of their own. If nothing else, worth exploring 
Has anyone used A Bluesound Node 2i with an Innuos Zenith XXL MKii????
Get rid of the Bluesound and stream through the Innuos. With my.innuos.com it‘s very straightforward to set up. You need to connect the Innuos to your router via ethernet. 
Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
Any of the 3 you mention will be a better sounding replacement for your Roon Nucleus

What would you do?
Methinks Millercarbon gives excellent advice

If you feel like tweaking a little, you might insert a filter (ENO, EMO EN70–HD) and use a short bit (i.e. 10-15‘‘) of high quality ethernet cable (I use Meicord) but you seem to sound happy as is. 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
I suggest you try Auditorium23 cables, easily the most transparent cables I have found 
What exactly is textural density??
Sounds like mental ‘thickness’ to me... 
Help me understand better solutions for ethernet
I have been experimenting on how to get the best sound quality for streamed music to my Innuos Zenith Mk3: in my setup inserting an EMO EN70-HD galvanic isolator into my ethernet cable and connecting from there with a 10in Meicord cable to the str...

Whereas hi-res recordings bring little advantage over well recorded and mastered redbook, upsampling redbook to higher sampling rates has real advantages in digital to analogue conversion. This applies obviously only to delta sigma dacs. R2R dacs ...
