Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II
I have had suggested to me by a few audiophiles I should think about an Audio GD DDC, over any of the Denafrips range. On their advice, I have ordered an Audio GD DI-20HE. Then will have around $400 mods before receiving it.  
Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?
I'm looking to try/buy an Audience AU24SX AES/EBU.  Think I'll prefer this over the Front Row. Another option is either Atlas Mavros or Triode Wire Labs Spirit 110. Has anyone tried these?   
Bladerunner Film Soundtrack
I think I have Bladerunner on vinyl. No dialogue from what I remember.  
SQ difference XLR vs RCA ?
Some DACs are a SE design. In these cases there would be little to no improvement using XLR unless a long run required. More of an improvement if the DAC is a balanced design.  
What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?
I know some people who prefer AES/EBU over I2S.  
HiFi audio Fuse on a CD Transport

What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?

I have previously subscribed to Tidal. Currently have Qobuz on trial. There's no going back. Qobuz is staying. Better sounding, no MQA, more HiRes, and cheaper.  
musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
I'm planning on getting the Audio GD DI-20HE DDC in a month or so. It has been recommended by my UK dealer.   
Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks
I have the Mad Scientist Black Magic USB cable. Brilliant cable. Was going to get a couple of Mad Scientist ethernet cables, but in limited space I needed more flexibility. Ended up with TWL Freedom.  
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
Does a DAC sound better with an overkill power supply? I've found that to be true with two Dacs.  
New streamer, new to streaming
@hleeid  I assuming you know that Roon and Tidal are different. But just in case... Roon is a management system/music organiser. Uses what music files you have, and whatever streaming service you subscribe to. Tidal/Qobuz is a streaming service...

@allears4u  I have yet to apply the Mad Scientist graphene 'super goop.' Waiting until my system is finalised. Where/how did you apply it?  
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
@sns  I should be able to A>B>A if I take my time. Just have to remember to take notes with every addition, as it becomes hard to remember.  
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I've completely changed my system over a year, but for reasons have not yet heard these changes.  Linear power supplies, DC cables, fuses, Dac, network switches, grounding box, electrical filters, ethernet cables, streamer, USB cable, DDC, mains ...
