@grannyring I highly recommend you to step up to Fusion IC’s. Personally, I preferred the Fusion over Arcadia in terms of overall transparency and tonality. Considering your system, I think you may prefer Fusion over Arcadia.  
Setting up a streamer for a frien
^^^Do you own a Esoteric CD Player and Integrated?It’s all comes down to your expectations and point of reference. For some people, a system with Node 2 or Raspberry Pi & Topping DAC is more than adequate :-)

Quboz/Aurender Issue
Did you contact Aurender customer support? Their email is -support@aurender.com 
Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4???
@moto_man,I suggest installing Supra Cat 8 LAN cables between wall to Gigafoil and then Gigafoil to MSB DAC. You are very likely to hear audible improvements over generic CAT6 due to superior shielding and noise reduction. https://www.ebay.com/itm... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
@audioman58,A close friend of mine just dumped SVS and switched to a pair of REL Carbon Limited. REL comes with 60 Day home trial and free shipping and returns! https://rel.net/customer-promise/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_camp... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
A pair of REL’s for music, JL for HT and I’ve owned both. 
Poor Customer Service
I own both REL and Aurender, always received timely support from them. 
My first streamer- what spidf cable to use?
@zavato,Digital cables do sound different. You have a very nice DAC, feeding it with a high quality SPDIF cable will far outweighs the cost of your Node. A cheap cable in this application will only render thin and dull sound. https://www.ebay.com/... 
Luxman 590axii ventilation

New Streamer Transport
Another vote for Aurender like N100C.
