I do not want to start a debate but would suggest a high-quality USB cable.

I have the PS Audio DAC Mk 2. It does not have an Ethernet connection. The AirLens connects a hard-wired Ethernet connection to the DAC using an I2S connection.  Better than any USB connection.  It allows me access to Tidal.

Perhaps my favorite feature is the I2S output.   
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
PS Audio AirLens. Great streamer with I2S output.

Yes, but with the new PS Audio DAC mk 2. They are wonderful together but I have no idea how they sound separately.  Very musical was my wife’s comment.

I admire the DIY crowd but do not have that skill set. I have trouble operating a screwdriver. A friend gave a circular saw to us as a house-warming present, and my wife hid it. I still have all of my fingers.  
Really Long XLR
Rather than a counterfeit from China, buy lamp cord from Home Depot.   
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
The PSA DSD MK2 with an AirLens is a fully functioning network system.

I ordered a pair of FR-20s. This should be fun, but I intend to use speaker cables.   
Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?
It depends on whether my wife is home.   
Ethernet connection for best sound quality

No speaker wires.   
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
DirectStream DAC MK2 with BHK300 amps:  no hum, just a fantastic musical DAC with AirLens.   
Best speakers for classic rock

Sarcasm does not translate well in writing.  The comments on the speaker’s photos seem like they are in the weeds.
