DAC Questions
If looking for a good DDC, the Audio GD DI-20HE is well worth a look.  
CDs: FLAC v ALAC (v Digital Download)
I remember reading discussions a few years ago. A few thought there was a minute improvement using Flac over Alac when ripping CDs. I'm guessing no difference using my CDs over the same pressing from Qobuz?  
Neutral Dac?

Ethernet cables

Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock
@designsfx  Unfortunately, I have not heard his system. He has a Sonore Signature Rendu SE, upgrading from the ultraRendu.

Have a friend who had the Mutec MC 3+ and used an AfterDark Double Emperor to good effect. He used an AES/EBU cable to Dac.   He liked the Signature so much he upgraded to the Double Crown.
