Is this my Imagination? Shunyata Hydra 6 Delta and some power cords transformed my system.
No, it is not your imagination.  Trust your ears. 
Does Mac O/S handle DAC same as Windows?
Should be all plug and play to get sound, but sometimes you. have to make a tweak or two in the "Audio MIDI Setup" control panel.  Do a Command+spacebar to search for it.  You can also select the highest word length and sampling your DAC can suppo...

@ghosthouse Wow, Delta NR v2>Alpha NR v1?  By how much?

Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band.
I am lucky enough to be one of 106 people in the audience at an outdoor concert at Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock this weekend, celebrating what would have been his 81st birthday.  Chris Thile is fronting the "Midnight Ramble" band.  I have been... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
Hopefully we will have the ~$1,250 Schiit transport in the fall to compare with the Pro-Ject.  It will have Unison USB pass through, supposedly.

@mikem Prego!!  As has been said slightly differently "Most things matter", not all.  The trick is to figure out which ones matter the most, at the least cost per unit of improvement.  One would go broke otherwise.  Have to run, the mailman is her... 
Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations
@mceljo You can read the technical aspects on their website and Jason’s Headroom thread (warning, it’s very long). My take on it is that they have worked out a mathematical way to re-construct the original waveforms from the 44.kHz sampling (e.g.)...

I recently added an ENO Ag (fed by Monoprice CAT8) in front of my Roon Nucleus, that was already being powered by an HDPlex 300 LPS, which was also feeding 5v power to my Schiit Yggdrasil DAC with Unison USB, via a USB Disruptor.  It made a clear ... 
Martin Logan BalanceForce 210 vs JL audio E112
@noel89 Oh, if you have ML speakers you should definitely be considering a ML sub.  Beyond the PBK, ML provides custom cross-overs that match their various speakers.  I use the custom crossover that lets me run my CLXs full range, so that I add no... 
Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations
@mceljo I am a big fan of Schiit DACs and own three of them right now.  I would only buy a Modi if I bought the MultiBit version.  MultiBit was game changer over their previous versions.
