Upgrade from base CURIOUS CABLE USB?
Those are all good brands / high quality cables on your list. I highly recommend a trial in your fine system to access which cable sounds the best to your ears. I would also add Network Acoustic USB III and Kimber Hybrid (HB) on your list…they are... 
Why limit yourself to one streaming service?
I am currently subscribed to Qobuz for its SQ. Does it have every album…NO but large enough library to keep me humming along. No issues with Qobuz in my car or away from home. I do plan to add Spotify once they start offering CD res quality. I bel... 
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
“I don’t have a noise issue” @mitch2 It will be interesting to hear your feedback once you remove everything in the path and go direct from your modem or router to your Innuos. I know this is A/B is bit of pain but this is the only way to re-eva...

Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
“upgrade to an Etsuro Gold cart” @essrand  My project to further improve the analog is now on hold due to progress made in my digital front end. I am couple of pieces away from what I set out to do since early 2021.  
2 X Rel Carbons Incoming. Advice on powering?
+1, @fastfreight advise on how to setup REL’s and Baseline cables. Plug them straight into wall with high quality power cables (12AWG). If the bass gets too boomy or cause structural vibrations due to lack of acoustic treatments in your room, use ... 
Streamer upgrade? follow up.
“the Node is good enough to discover new artist via streaming” @malibu457  I agree, if one’s purpose from streaming is to discover music then a Node, Raspberry Pi or Allo Digi One type of devices are more than adequate. Tidal offers FREE access ...
