Tidal Contriva Diacera or Aerial 20T V2
Rilou, I am unaware of the total cost of both alternatives. For the sake of argument, let's suppose they are equivalent.If you are planning to go for a matching new set of IC and SC, then, my preference would go to Argento Flow. I repeat my previo...

Cord with C7 connector or IEC-C7 adaptor instead?
I rebuilt two Audioplan "S" PowerCords with Furutech FI-8N C7 connectors for the bluray and the TV as well. This was the first time I ventured to cut up a cord and whereas I have always been convinced of the superior sonic qualities of the "S", I ... 
Which is the best cd player under $10k?
Thanks for the information, Audiofun, I wasn't aware of that. Then again, I don't think I myself will spend another perhaps $10k on a DAC to reach a comparable sound. However, for somenone who already owns a fine DAC, here comes one of the finest ...

Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray
... talking of power, Jörn confirmed that they actually will bring the Sunray to Munich this year and drive them with 4 Impact mono blocks (with Tidal LPX active cross-over). You bet I already have my train tickets and hotel reservation! 
Vivid Audio ???

Tidal Contriva Diacera or Aerial 20T V2
Rilou, based on a number of extensive hearing sessions, an ideal pairing can be achieved with Argento Flow cables (serious investment, sadly). In any case, of prime importance is not to use a cable that has a "damped" sonic footprint, also it is e... 
Which is the best cd player under $10k?
... yeah, this is tough. Your description would seem to fit yet another machine, though. So here is a must-audition in that price bracket:AMR-CD77 (first version or 77.1 update)
