Really Long XLR
Look into Audio Envy….I had 30FT RCA, they use OCC copper which is way better than most OFC cables out there.   
Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables
Instead of jumper cables, I recommend picking up Nova or Prima for LF posts and use your Heimdall 2 on HF posts. I am in similar situation and currently using Nova on LF posts. https://zavfinousa.com/collections/speaker-cables  
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
What is your personal preferences when it comes to sound..Luxman has a neutral tone whereas Accuphase has warmer sound. I auditioned both and preferred Accuphase. Another huge distinction for me was class A/B vs pure class A…E-650 is pure class A,... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
@kennyc  I applaud your efforts but as you can see, you’ve pretty much wasted your time and energy. It’s best to ignore folks like fredrik ….their singular purpose is to provoke and cause discord. Unfortunately, Mods here are much more tolerant a... 
Value of a premium Ethernet cable
The LinkUp cable @soix mentioned is an excellent cable. I am running a 50FT length from my modem to a switch near my streamer. The 50FT cable eliminated the mesh network. Should you choose to try LinkUp cable, I want you to be aware the 22AWG vers... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
@jpan  High Five on aesthetics, room acoustics and choice of components!   
Bypassing Sony SACD protocols - is it possible?
@yyzsantabarbara  You’re welcome. I heard the demo at AXPONA and it worked flawlessly. I still enjoy spinning SACD’s on my Marantz player, hence never felt the need to pursue D.BOB. May be I will once I’m out of player options. I got over 300+ SA... 
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
Looks like they thought of everything with RS130 but the components that tries to do everything often fails to deliver in the most important aspect i.e. SQ.   
Nuclues plus bricked
I hate to break it you, Nucleus or plus is a piece of junk. Roon focuses on software not hardware. Lots of folks in my circle have dumped nucleus for another solution to run Roon Core.  
Bypassing Sony SACD protocols - is it possible?
I am not aware of any dedicated SACD player that can output DSD stream via Toslink or Coax. I believe you need a universal player with hdmi output and D.BOB to extract DSD 64 stream to any DAC that can decode DSD. https://geerfab.com/audio/  
New Product RE: Denafrips 12th Anniversary Edition Digital-to-Digital Converter (DDC)
@hgeifman  In your amazing setup, a DDC is redundant.   
DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss
Almost everything better than MConnect 🤣  
Ruminations On CD Players
@nonoise I respect your decision not to embrace streaming for whatever reasons.  
Ruminations On CD Players
@nonoise I appreciate your sentiments but your argument doesn’t quite hold up here. Streaming is exactly akin to places like Borders but at much much larger scale. You may be lacking the physical touch, human interactions, ambiance of shopping m... 
Aurender integrated streamer/DACs
@gsomin  What is your budget for RCA IC’s….A200 will benefit from better IC’s, Ethernet and Power Cord. If may ask, what PC you are using with your Luxman Integrated. I believe, cables matters!  My digital system is listed under my user id, if yo...
