Tidal vs. Others- End of 2021
Had Tidal, did the MQA thing and over time wasn’t impressed. Switched to Qobuz and couldn’t be happier.  
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
I stream exclusively via Qobuz and moved from a tweaked Node2i to a Aurender N100SC. Dac at the time was a ARC Dac7. The overall improvement was substantial.

Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass

Budget High Current Power Cords
Virtual Dynamics Power 3 / Power 1 / David Series. Takes a bit of hunting but well worth it. I was able to source them for every component in my rig.

Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II
@ozzy62  I'd be really interested in knowing your thoughts on the Pontus vs Lampi. I was hot on the hunt for a Lampi or the Pontus. the Terminator came at a steal so I jumped all over it.

@ozzy62  N100SC has usb2.0 and coax. On the Termi, DSD 1024 / PCM 1536 is via usb only. Not really a big deal nevertheless id still like to be able to play with it.
