Audio grade version of this cord? (Polarized NEMA 1-15P to Polarized IEC 60320 C7)
@deep_333  If you can find one, look for AQ NRG-X series PC. Otherwise Shunyata and Cullen makes very good C7 power cord.  https://www.dedicatedaudio.com/products/shunyata-venom-v14-power-cord-c7-1?_pos=41&_sid=8f9ad7160&_ss=r ht...

@soix No further affirmations needed! There are several folks here, who took the initiative to audition a high quality streamer over PC; heard the obvious improvements and couldn’t go back to PC as their prime source for streaming. The 1’s and ... 
USB Cable
OP, a system like yours deserves a high quality streamer like Aurender N20 or Innuos Pulsar (if you prefer ROON). I just concluded a head to head comparison between N30SA and W20SE and chose to go with N30SA over W20SE. I used to own N20 and IMHO,... 
Herron Audio...Still in business
“Grab them fast or run away quickly?” Well…Couple of questions and I’m asking them out of concern, 1) why invest in a product that is no longer being manufactured, 2) and how long one can expect a support on a discontinued product due to lack of...

Cable management....crossing at right angles or
Randy @randu  Try these, I found them to be quite effective in isolating IC from PC cables.  https://shunyata.com/products/accessories/df-mini-cable-elevator/  
Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot
Nope, they are not supposed to run hot at all. I got two in my system and they run cool 24x7.   
Experience with Modwright products?
Great sounding products but like with any other used components, resale sucks. I took a substantial loss when I sold the KWA150SE, LS36.5 and Elyse DAC. If you planning to keep them around for a while, don’t worry about resale, just enjoy. Dan is ... 
How do you add color?
“Timbre, texture, tonality is what helps you get emotionally connected with your music.” +1000 @arafiq well said! And both SS and Tube components are equally adept at delivering these qualities. The rub lies in one’s ability to identify such compo... 
How do you add color?
@arafiq  Consider adding Lampizator’s soon to be released Poseidon DAC between your Innuos ➡️ Vitus and call it a day!   
USB Cable - A to B
DH Labs USB seems to be the flavor of the month. Try that! My recommendation would be to try at least 2 to 3 cables in your system and keep the one most appeasing to your ears. My all time favorite under $1K, comes with 30 days money back guarante...

Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@wharfy  Very interesting analogy! I am not surprised by the outcome of using CD6SE in your system, given the synergy with other ARC pieces. Looking forward to your impressions with other players. And thanks for sharing the art, I loved them both!   
Connection from router to streamer.
“I still use the old coax from the router to the streamer” I believe you’re referring to LAN (ethernet) cable not good ole COAX. For a source like Vault, head over to Amazon and purchase LINKUP - Cat8 Ethernet Patch Cable in 22AWG (yellow sleeve)...
