Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…?
Good to hear you tried and are hearing the difference. More resolving cables will help a bit with soundstage but I’m not familiar with your amps and preamp. And that’s where you will most likely hit the nail on the head. You gotta start somewhere....

You’ll know when you hear it. Give the N200 at least 10 days to settle by running it 24/7 (just set the queue to repeat all tracks). Don’t jump to conclusions too early.  The included USB cable is actually not terrible so if you don’t have a good ... 
Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…?
Kenny…the fact that you don’t have sidewalls and corners is not entirely a downside. You can try treating the front wall but I’m not sure it will accomplish what you’re looking for. You need a more transparent and open sounding amplifier and speak... 
Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…?
Kenny…looking at your system pictures the speakers are very close to the front wall and there’s not much acoustic treatment.  Swapping cables out won’t give you that wrap around soundstage you’re looking for. That’s more amp/speakers/room combinat...

Mdalton - a sound decision is made by an individual based on feedback from others who have experience with the item in question, research conducted and the available budget. Your help is appreciated. But all you’re providing is simply an opinion. ...

Rvpiano - congrats! You won’t be disappointed. Should be a very nice match with your DAC and a nice upgrade over the Cambridge! Keep us posted.   
Audience Front Row?
Well if it’s anything like the FrontRow speaker cables you won’t be disappointed.

Mdalton I just saw your response. So…the difference between using the M3 network card as a roon endpoint and using the M3 as a DAC only via USB from the Aurender N200 is huge. The article talks about jitter in the M3 as a hole, not just the networ...

F.T…the AQ Diamond is also 100% silver. But not OCC. So this will be a very interesting comparison

Did you ask Audience about it? Their customer support is top notch.
