@pophaudioAcrolink cables are pretty decent, once you hook up your Vault please report back your experience.  I am using Purist Musaeus IC’s (very neutral sounding) and Verastarr SPDIF cable.  
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
@tommylion, Didn’t I warned you 😉Component grounding is just as important as AC grounding. My system took major leap forward when I added component grounding from Nordost (QKORE6). I am glad you’re enjoying your upgrade. Cheers! 
DACs and bass response?
@stuartk,What are your source components? I am thinking may be there is a room for improvements elsewhere in your system.  
Newbie here with a cable question
@ceborg999,Check out iFi iPurifier, couple of these $99 plugins with good quality passive power distributor would do just fine. https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-ac-ipurifier/ 
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
@tommylion,That’s a very encouraging news! I am glad to hear your positive experience so far...On another thread here, I acted on a lead and order a pair of iFi iPurifiers earlier today. They seem to be well thought out in their design philosophy ... 
DACs and bass response?
Steve, “The final jitter will be exactly the same, no matter what the source is” - Agreed. “You can literally compete with a $20K transport using a $300 transport and a $1400 Synchro-Mesh and Dynamo power supply” - That’s a pretty bold statement, ... 
DACs and bass response?
@audioengr,Thank you for your feedback and sharing the link. I guess that’s one way to promote external reclocker by taking a subpar DAC/Streamer. I do not know about anyone else but IMO, SONOS connect box is a piece of crap. It’s also one of the ... 
DACs and bass response?
@audioengr,Speaking of your Synchro-Mesh reclocker, what about DAC’s internal jitter control? Is it not good enough to reduce jitter on a incoming digital signal? I am just trying to understand the need for external reclocker.  My DAC is equipped ...

ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
“I will say, it is 90% of the REF6 that replaced it in my system”+1, @docknow. I purchased LS28 after auditioning both at my dealer. And I didn’t think the subtle improvements I heard with Ref6 were worth twice the price. Having said that, if Ref6...

@pophaudio,Aurender N100H is a very nice streamer but restricted to USB output. There are plenty of threads on Aurender N100 and DAC recommendations that gels quite well with N100H, I suggest you do some reading before you buy N100.  You will neve... 
Mcintosh 402 Amp in protection mode
@bulldog90,Congrats on a wonderful system. What preamp you’re using? I used to own C2500 pre that has Output 1 and 2 buttons on front panels. Depending on which output your amp connected to, one of them needs to be ON (Red LED) for sound output. A...

Try auditioning Bluesound Vault 2, very versatile and amazing sound given its asking price. You also get a DAC onboard that decodes MQA** files as a bonus. **For MQA playback, you would need a subscription to Tidal. And if cost no object and you’r... 
ROON help needed
Tidal in its native form sounds amazing, applying DSP settings is like compensating for deficiencies in your listening environment / faulty component or simply a matter of personal preference. I like simplicity, plug n play.
