Audioquest Water interconnects
At that discount they are a good deal.  As mentioned, they are stiff    Good cable though.   
Audioquest Water interconnects
They are good quality.  I have a pair.  I paid $200 for a meter , they were used but looked new.  A great price but I think I like the few pairs of DH Labs Air Matrix Cryo better . They are less that the AQ and have much better connectors in my op... 
reliable DDC
While the MC3+USB isn’t cheap, it’s made in Germany.   For owners of R2R DACs that can only do 24/192 it will accept up to DSD256 and sample rate convert to 24/192.  It can also simultaneously output across all outputs with each digital input. Let... 
reliable DDC
I use a Mutec MC3+USB    It’s a reclocker and converts inputs to Coax , TOS, or AES.  It does a great job of converting USB to Coax.   
Aurender Conductor app
I just got an update on my N200 that allows you to search a thumb drive    It mentions not using a file scheme so I’m guessing it will show meta data  Haven’t tried it yet, but if that’s the case it will be welcome.   
Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
Well, that’s a matter of person taste I guess.   Either way they are phenomenal speakers.   The grills are super high quality and truly transparent.    Never letting go of these speakers.  They are that good.   
Best DAC you ever heard list. 1.Budget under 1k 2. Mid Under 5k 3. Cost no Object.
Under $1k.  $999.   I would pick RME adi2.  I owned this DAC for a few years and it's hard to beat for the money. Under  $5k.  $3300  After looking at several DACs between $1500 and $6000  I chose the Lab 12  DAC 1 Reference.   I love this DAC.  ... 
Eversolo dmp A6 - xlr connection
Select the output that says XLR/RCA.   The McIntosh is single ended not differntial/balanced.   The XLR /RCA should give you sound.

I have had the excellent Studio Electric M4 in my second system for a few months.   They are so good i am thinking about these for my main room.   https://www.studio-electric.com/FS1%20Loudspeaker.html https://pt.audio/2025/03/01/studio-electric... 
Rel sub x-over fs/click
My REL has a 30 to 100 hz range.  1.8 dB per click.     I have the volume set to 6 clicks from zero and x-over is four clicks from 30 hz.   Speakers are about 88 dB sens  REL recommends 10 clicks to start but your main speaker's sens will determ... 
DDC or Better Streamer?
I also have a N200.   With my DAC i thought coax sounded better.   The N200 USB is very good, but I think it's my DACs  implementation that's not so great  I picked up a Mutec MC3+USB.   It is a reclocker and converts USB to Coax or AES  or Tos. ... 
Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget
Enjoy.  Dynaudio makes great speakers   
Differences in clock cables?
Wireworld cables are good.  I have a Starlight 8 that is terminated with BNC on one end and RCA for the other.     
Differences in clock cables?
Pasternack.com has a number of cables that are suitable for clock cables.  Don't need to spend  a ton on cables, they have true 75 and 50 ohm cables.    
Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised?
Would love to know what brand.   That is not an unreasonable request for new tweeters.
