Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
The Ethernet and usb cable to the streamer can make all the difference in the world the Tubulus digital cables. The best I have heard the Concentus and Ximius I2S  cables  beat cables at 3 x the price.  
Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better?
Most streamers don’t have I2S outputs hdmi  If you have a DDC Reclocker then they have I2S outputs   the only brand I know that sell true I2S  audio cables without the video wires is the Excellent Tubulus Audio cables.
