Which type of cable sounds best for Streamer to DAC: AES/EBU or DIGITAL COAX or USB ??

Question for those who use REL subs with Wilson speakers
@arsh,Two REL’s S/812’s should be more than enough in your room. I am using a pair of Carbon Limited in my room - 15”D x 30”W. I am with @golfnutz on exploring bass traps before you upgrade your speakers. I worked with GIK Acoustics and they were ... 
Amp and Processor
@daj2832,Grab a used Marantz AV8802A and call it a day. It’s a excellent processor and just as good with stereo sound.

One more thing, also compare the streaming over WiFi vs wired connection to your Cambridge Streamer / DAC. Many here, including myself found hard wired connection sounded more dynamic and cleaner.   
Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
^^Don’t just believe the hype, if you’re going to dump $6K in U1 then you should find a way to audition the competing streamers from Innuos, Aurender and Auralic. Bluesound is a budget but a very good streamer. I think Innuos ZENmini + LPSU will g...

fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed
+1, cleeds. I had suggested OP in his original thread to invite the seller for an open discussion. I understand OP’s frustration, he was probably treated unfairly. Without hearing seller’s side of story, we are unlikely to resolve anything or reac... 
What happened to Needledoctor.com?
I can think of two possible reasons, the fierce competition and those damn window shoppers! 
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
@river251 The Zen Mini already comes with a built-in high-resolution 24bit/192KHz Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).  
A cable routing reminder
“Yeah forgot the doc said double up on the Xanax before reading audiophool forums.”Well that explains why you can’t help yourself interjecting off topic chatter in almost every thread! No wonder the standards here gone down since you graced us wit... 
Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
audiotroy,I do understand where you coming from and why you’re so eager to declare X1 as one of the best in the industry. Someday, I will put X1 to the ‘test’ once I complete my stack of Merging+Player+Power+Clock. Until then, good luck with Lumin...
