Trying to get UltraRendu to UltraDigital to Pontus II via I2S to work
Another possibility is the I2S is not synched properly ,sadly there is no standard for I2S, why as like many things in Audio in digital no Standards where there should have been for years for example all recordings should have exactly the same spl... 
The Best Speakers in the World!
In my opinion and many others the MBL 101 Ultimates are a True Reference Omni directional speaker, having Dual seperate Bass cabinets requires a lot of room and power ,but a Very Special Loudspeaker system.  
Softest, smoothest sounding capacitors you've tried?
I have been Duelunds for a while especially their newTinned Copper Foil  he best capacitors,  but they are Big, just Jupiter Copper  foil are possibly a bit smoother but not as much detail .  
This sounds suspicious...
It’s already sold according to ad.  Until you see a complaint how do you know ? it may have had a cosmetic issue  ?   I have bought some great products where a owner just wanted to unload gear I bought agreat pass labs amp at 40% of retail and on... 
Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
Brightness s common as win audio cables the metals have to settle n the same is especially true for power supplies transformers  capacitors, resistors. and especially in Loudspeaker Xovers.  
Need an integrated amp that sounds engaging at lower volume
Your question usually has more to do with the Loudspeaker then the integrated amplifier. you didnot mention your budget  Coda makes a Great U.S.A made integrated with 3 power choices when ordering up to almost 20 first watts  at lowest power se... 
Piega loudspeakers
To me if you don’t mind adding a quality sub or 2,myself SVS 4000SB subs which are very good. with the superb MBL 126 standmounts with matching stands ,yes a bit power hungry but sit Anywhere in  the room and sound is pretty much =  exceptionally... 
Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!
What do you expect rule of thumb 25% of the cost on average goes into the build including packaging $125  you truly need to spend at least around $1k at bare minim7m to get any respectable fidelity , the Denafrips Pontus 2 by far the best under $2... 
Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable
Just leave your digital on repeat or load up music on Roon or whatever to play  24-7 Keith Amp,preamp off only digital has to be on I do this with new cables for 10 days huge difference after say 150 hours then gets better still 100 hours further.  
Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable
Youhave to remember you are only using roughly 5 volts . you can have your amplifier off ,just put your digital playing on repeat, or if streaming just put a bunch of music on and let play burnin willbe much quicker  this way .  
Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable
All digital cables have very low voltage vs say a loudspeaker cable  250-300 hours to fully runin at least 150 hours to smooth out from my vast experiences.  
Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound?
MBL is a perfect example of not the most efficient ,But the low sensitivity is misleading ,for it disperses in 360 degrees sound evenly ,not just to the front  and the tweeter,midrange  not being n a box and direct coupled have exceptional  tran...
