Roon Core Server Player
@dougthebiker If you can stretch your budget, consider a +player, all in one box from Merging Technologies. It has it all, Pre/DAC/Roon Core/Renderer. The +player will eliminate  the need for Zen Mk III, Schiit Freya pre, Yggdrassil DAC and go d... 
Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?
@antigrunge2 Other than the obvious advantage of asynchronous connection you pointed out, I can think of couple of reasons why USB still considered a better option for servers. There is no standardized connector with i2S protocol, some uses RJ45... 
2 x Rel S/812 or Singel No 25
This topic has been beaten to death, 1 vs two, three, four and so on. Before you ask for opinions, I suggest that you provide us the room dimensions and if it is acoustically treated or not. This will hopefully generate better suggestions, ultimat...

What say you binding posts or direct wire?
“I get better-sounding results just by using quality speaker cable wired directly into my networks with the same cable type after to transducer. ” This sounds like a case of, 1) Cheap binding posts with poor metallurgy or 2) I have tweaked ever... 
Which sounds better: I2S or Coax.
The devil is in the details (implementation). I2S does not have standard protocol established between manufacturers so handshake is an issue unless you’re using the two components from same manufacturer. Case in point, AQUA HiFi and Rockna, one us...

Songs that can be streamed at higher Res
@curiousjim  I suggest that you don’t limit your experience to ‘high res’ files. There are plenty of files at CD res (16/44.1kHz) that are excellent. Just grabbed the tablet and explore the vast catalog of playlists and albums.  If you want to e... 
Record Seam Splits
