USB and Coaxial at the same time?
When I compared USB to coax on my N200 I was running one interface at a time and was taking it slow evaluating sonic quantities of each listening to complete songs or even more than one song with each. I don’t recommend switching back and forth to... 
USB and Coaxial at the same time?
If you have native dsd turned off in the aurender advanced settings I think you should be fine. What makes you think the coax could sound better just curious…  
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?
Time for a break @coralkong  you’ve been listening too hard  reading too many posts do some other stuff. Read few good books, watch good movies, travel, see a live band, go to a classical concert, get a dog :) It will come back.   
Need a Streamer
Poorly recorded source material, bad room acoustics, bright speakers. You can change a streamer but that’s not going to fix your problem.   
Strange Cable Experiment
Strange? Not at all. It would be strange if the cables didn’t make a difference in a resolving system. No blind test needed. Although with those cataract glasses I bet Jason is an expert in blind testing.   
Reference Tracks?
I’ll wander off the beaten path here…. Art Pepper, Straight Life - Nature Boy Neils-Henning Orsted Pedersen, This is All I Ask - O, Tysta Ensamhet Neils-Henning Orsted Pedersen, The Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live Allan Taylor, Behind the Mix - T... 
Furutech PC's?
@fthompson251 i have two Furutech GTX-D NCF Rhodium outlets, one per dedicated line. I’ve owned the following power cords: FP-S55N with NCF 50 plugs, FPS-032n with regular 50 connectors. Had DPS-4.1 with NCF 50 plugs long enough in my system to as... 
Digital Advice
Here’s a Schiit Bifrost DAC for $300.  And the Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport for $335 Use your Mac to stream to Schiit via USB. This will beat WiiM and Bluesound.   
My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms
Stupid question - is your judgement of bass based on critical listening with the chair in the middle or is bass lacking in general. It’s possible you’re sitting in a bass null. Or the setup is just not optimal. Can you post pics in the virtual sys... 
SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
Get an equalizer and you can dial down the annoying frequency range and boost treble and bass. You are replicating the function of a loudness button. No other changes required. Another option is to dump your bryston gear and pickup a Luxman 590 in... 
Overly sensitive tweeter/midrange
If it happens randomly and only in one speakers try flipping all cables from left to right. If the issue moves with the cables to another speaker start eliminating potential culprits one by one by switching back the interconnects first then speake...

@celtic66 all about synergy. I run Nordost Tyr 2 XLRs, Frey 2 power cord on DAC and amp, Heimdall 2 power cord on streamer. Accurate, fast, transparent and dynamic. Combined with Audience FrontRow speaker cables just excellent synergy. I wouldn’t ... 
Tidal SQ Issues
@decooney no more MQA on Tidal. It’s all FLAC. I have zero issues with Tidal and I use both Tidal and Qobuz. Sounds great to me as well.   
Tidal SQ Issues
Well you’re tracking it close enough to start a new thread here. And you don’t remember the recording you were playing. I’ll say it’s probably something you’ve not familiar with and you didn’t care for it enough to remember what it is. If it comes...

@torke audiophile speakers are more about accuracy and quality of bass rather than quantity. I don’t know if this is your first pair of high end speakers. If you need bass that rattles walls you need subwoofers and you don’t need expensive speaker...
