Single Ended DAC vs Dual Differential XLR DAC
Basically what ^^^^ they said. I don't know if you're talking about single ended (RCA) or XLR or a dual mono dac as opposed to a shared signal path and transformer. RCA vs XLR is never certain XLR on paper should sound better but that is not alw... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
$99.00 laughing my tits off! I've spent over 20x that on speaker spikes. Ffs get with the program or have a ear transplant.  
I bought the new Denafrips terminator mk2 dac help and ? On connections
They are Denafrips proprietary clock connections for the Avatar CD player and the Gaia or Hermes DDC. Note they are Mhz not Khz so I don't know if standard clocks can be connected.  
Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ?
@haimr Thank you for your kind words. However after looking at your system I would think that the problem lays with your speakers. I'm very old school and I believe speakers should be made out of wood. Most musical instruments are wooden. IMHO fib... 
Best way to connect Sony UBP-X800M2 for DVD-A and SACD
The HDMI are for video and multichannel audio but you have a coax output to go into a DAC and then into your Bryston.  
What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?
I see the Luddites are out again with their pitchforks decrying the sorcery of USB and other ethereal pleasures of the anointed  agnostic apostles of truth. It maybe witchcraft or the devil's works but cables do make a difference due to their sata...

What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
A glass of Chateau La Tour is going to taste differently drank from a china or tin cup, so it is with all cables including USB. If it grates your posterior that people will gladly pay $1000's for wine or cables then either disprove it or move on.

What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
@peter_s I don't know how true it is but I read years ago that all digital cables should be 1.5m or more, how much more I have no idea. However as far as USB goes lots of them come in a standard size of 1.5m so maybe this is correct.  
I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable
I really don't think Atlas compares to Morrow Audio and considering the OP's system spending more than $500.00 probably isn't going to achieve much in the price to performance stakes. Yeah Morrow Audio great.....lol....Black Friday Sale...come on ... 
I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable
If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg I can vouch for Atlas Cables AES/EBU from the UK. There are definitely better and more expensive cables out there but unless you can get trials by mail it's very difficult to compare a bunch of digital A...
