Clock vs Streamer advice
Melco’s Ethernet out sounds much better than it’s USB. Great filtering too..  
Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300
Great financing also on the Cary  
Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300
I had a Aurender A100, Cary 600,700 and a Lumin T2 so maybe I can help.  The Aurender and the Cary both use AKM chips. While the T2 uses the Sabre chips You can’t beat the Cary for features. Wireless,Bluetooth, can be used just as a streamer, SD ... 
Clock vs Streamer advice
I wish I could recommend the Mutec Nano to you but unless you are going to seriously upgrade with an outboard LPS you will be disappointed . Sent mine back.  Keep it simple with a good dedicated streamer from Lumin, Rose, etc.  you can always upgr...

mijostyn I guess you never heard them? Please listen then come back to post.  love your setup and you definitely love music/audio so the only thing I can think is you never heard them. Their X series are great value for an entry level high end sp... 
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
+1 on the Townshend. Game changer and very easy to adjust the rake angle on the speaker. I adjusted the Persona 5F a few degrees up and really opened up the stage and speakers really fill a 27 ft long room      
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
Try the Iconoclast UPOCC 4x4 Gen 2  about 2300.00 No restocking. They even pay return shipping. Absolutely not one cent out of your pocket if you return. Get the 5 ft. Cable is stiff and you may need the extra length.    Bob from Iconoclast a t... 
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast
Here ya there.. Townshend Fractals are just a few smidges below and they will work with you on a good price. I have their Fractal Speaker wires and Podiums and they make good stuff.  
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast
I have a pair of Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2 4x4 XLR’s. Expensive but was a great match in my system. Only interconnect in my rig so that’s why 2!00 did nor seem so bad for pretty close to state of the art  They will send you one to try. If you don’t ... 
10 k speaker setup. 5.1
They ended up going with Paradigm 120 H , 90 cc , x10 sub and 300 surrounds. Should sound pretty good!!  
10 k speaker setup. 5.1
Thanks for the input. I have put together a few high end 4.1 systems together with a phantom center but have always had a spot in the sweet spot. I have Persona 5 F’s now and people come over they look for a center speaker. Anchored dialog and sea... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Used Bricasti M3/w streaming card. Always available 3500-4,000 depending if you need a remote.  Run it from the XLR outputs to take advantage of its true balanced design.  I run an EtherRegen with an LHY OCK 2 clock and took it up a few mote notch...
