DDC Cableing
Thanks all!  
DDC Cableing
Interesting. One poster says the I2S cable is as important as the DDC and is worth spending $850 on one. Another says it doesn’t matter at all, a $10 cable is good. Okay.    
Good USB C Cable
Just ordered an Audioquest Carbon A to C cable. Thanks everyone for pointing out all the options.  
Good USB C Cable
@fuzztone Seeing that now. I had originally checked a dealer who didn't carry any with the C connector. @ghdprentice Yes, that's the plan but this flimsy cable I had didn't inspire confidence, thus looking for another, even if it's just temporary...

Persona B Amp Recommendations
@ audiotroy The 8 is what I was looking at. How would you say the warmth compares to Pass? More, less, different. I’m looking to move out the XA30.5 in the system now. Can it ROCK? You’re actually the closest Coda dealer but are 200+ miles away.  
Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday
