AES/EBU cable shootout
@svenjosh Thanks for sharing your impressions about digital cables. Cables do make a difference and a system like yours, one doesn’t need to strain hard to discern the differences between cables. I experienced similar transformation when I switc... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Network Acoustics also makes great sounding cables. Check out their latest Muon AES Cable. Something to keep in mind when you’re ready to order Muon Pro filter kit.  Another favorite of mine is Combak’s 聖HIJIRI Million HDG AES cable.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Further to @arafiq post…those contributing here from their direct experience often ignore (conveniently) a fact that every system is unique just as our individual preferences. There are no absolutes in audio..nuff said!   
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
@fthompson251  Check out Entreq Macro ground box Kit and read up on basic principles of grounding. I am using total of 4 Entreq Boxes, one per component (2 Macro Boxes and 2 Silver Minimus) in my system. The idea is to drain away noise/interferen... 
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
@fthompson251  Congratulations on taking the leap. Are you using a COAX or USB cable to your DAC? Once you settle down, try a mineral based grounding with N200 and you may uncover another layer of its hidden potential.

@txp1  Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear that N150 has elevated your listening experience. Enjoy!   
Admitting my error…
My recommendation would be to build your vinyl collection slowly.  Quality over quantity…I am now 95% streaming but still buy high quality recordings on Vinyl and CD’s sourced from master tapes.  And yes, the Joseph Audio/Doshi/Aurender/J Sikora ... 
New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier.
@hgeifman I believe Aurender is using integrated dual-mono AKM4497 DAC module in AP20 (same as in A30). Is Class D implementation in AP20 ready for prime time, the only way to know is by auditioning AP20 in your system.

@wsrrsw  Glad to hear you’re loving the TAKUMI 匠 Maestro power cord. It is indeed a very special cable.   
New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier.
The AP20 sounded amazing with Wilson Sabrina’s X. Who knew, class D can sound so musical and detailed. More details to follow on what they have done to make this AP20 sing so beautifully. The AP20 is essentially derived from A30 with added power m... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Herbie’s Tender feet’s are good and offers a great value. When it comes to components Isolation and vibration control, sky is the limit. Over the years, I went through so many of these type of devices. While they work to a degree, nothing ... 
2023 DAC comparison: MSB Select vs dCS Vivaldi Apex vs Wadax Atlantis Reference
Looking at DAC’s on your list, why not line up a home audition through your dealer. While opinions and direct experiences of others may provide some perspective, a home audition at this level is the only way to go IMHO.

+1, @grannyring on SR Purple Fuse with Innuos and NA Filter. I have been using a different fuse but case in point, aftermarket fuses does impact the sound favorably in most cases.

@charles1dad Thanks Charles. Every now and then you cross path with someone who is hell bent on proving their point that they miss the big picture 😊 The OP already stated that PhoenixNet is not a good match with MU1 hence my recommendation to t...
