Streamer for local files (DSD and FLAC), Tidal and Qobuz support, USB/i2s
I have the Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. Hi Res and CD files are attached via USB inputs. A good price, and good sound.

Also suggest a Mad Scientist Black Magic Ultra

Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2?

Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires
I have TWL Freedom ethernet cables. Pete is very easy to deal with, and the cables are excellent, and a very good price. Also have a Black Cat Silverstar 75 ohm coax cable. It's very good. Not sure about the entry level RCAs from Black Cat, but ...
