Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What?
Veemeke, You haven't stated what you don't like about the sound of your system. What do you feel you're missing? I'm struggling to understand what are you trying to achieve. Personally I don't believe that investing money in network/router will ma... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
For me it is Audio Research REF 75. Have it for about 6 years. KT120 tubes have been replaced. Never looked back.  Nice lush, well defined sound. Sufficient power.

I'm not going to upgrade/downgrade from Hegel, before I give it a proper try. I already have ARC REF 75 and my goal is to have active crossover and use Hegel for low frequencies, and ARC for mid/high feeding to my Magnepan 3.7i speakers

Chocaholic, I was not using external DAC via DAC loop function. My Mytek Brooklyn Bridge is DAC with network connectivity, so I was plugging Ethernet cable to Mytek and from Mytek used XLR interconnect to Hegel XLR input with changing input select...

Thank you for your reply mastering92. I guess I was not clear enough.i am using Sbooster to power Mytek. I want to make DIY audio USB cable from Auralic G1 streamer to Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, and was wondering if I can omitt 5V line and use only + an... 
What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Revox B77 and I still have since 1972. It was serviced every few years and still works flawlessly. 
Is AES/EBU the same as XLR?
One thing keeps puzzling me, characterization of cables as "DIGITAL". All cables are passing through is variation in voltage, how that makes it digital? 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
I am apparantly joining the party late. So far entire discussion revolves about 4-5 feet of the cable from wall recepracle to the unit it powers. Nobody has considers what is behind AC wall receptacle and what kind of power is coming to that recep...
