Why don‘t servers/players incorporate polarity switches
Wonder if the OP is aware that some audio equipment is out of polarity as a result of the design. And they usually don't tell you.Wouldn't it be funny if the OP's bad sounding CDs were because of his system. 50/50 chance. 
USB sucks
There’s at least one clown on this thread who has no business saying anything about audio. You figure out who. He goes by theory and not his ears, if he's ever really listened at all.My experience... Cables make a huge difference for sure.External...

It can be better. Sometimes it can be worse. Depends on just about everything. 
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
I drank the Herbie’s Koolaid for a while, spent hundreds on many of their products. Can’t say I ever heard an improvement. There are no shortcuts to better sound. Spend more and get a lot more in return.

op firming up his rep as a troll 
SOtM player?
SOtM makes great stuff. More kimchee please. 
Brooklyn Bridge or Aurender
