Do you have a perfect digital marriage?

Fiber optic to an Afterdark Netone, to a Gimm Mu1 streamer, via Shunyata Omega AES to a Lampizator Horizon 360 DAC with TP adaptors for NOS tubes. There is both a Roon server and a media storage server. within the Mu1.   I also have a $300 CD transport that feeds the Gimm Mu1 steamer that upsamples the CD feed and turns it into great sound. I use Swiss Digital fuses with Graphene coated slugs in both the streamer and the DAC. The DAC also sits on HIFISTAY footers. Both the streamer and DAC have Source AQ Dragon cords, Finally, the power comes from a pair of Shunyata Typhon 2 (30 amp version) with Snubways and MainStream plug ins, in each of the Typhons. The Afterdark Netone has three components in one slick box...copper to fiber or fiber to copper galvanic bridge, internal linear power supply, multiport switch and an internal XO clock 10 Mhz. Grounding is handled by the Shunyata Altaira with Omega and Sigma V2 ground cables.

I can use many adjectives to describe the sound, but this is the first time in a decades long dance with digital that now and then I forget I'm listening to a recording. Just once in a while, but never before has a system I have heard engaged me as IF it were a live event. 

Ghdprentice-I was in the same boat as you 5 or 6 years ago. I had a $15k tt setup with hundreds of albums. This is when I used Ethernet to the dac. I would have to spend much more on my tt setup to better the sound plus you still had the overhead of maintaining vinyl. I sold everything analog, even all my vinyl and have not regretted it for 1 second. Now I use i2s to the dac and sq has increased. If I wouldn’t have sold my tt setup years ago, I would have now

Not perfect but dam good one thing way over looked is the digital cables 

Tubulus audio Transformed my already good Innuos zen ,Hermes DDC then I2S to my Terminator 15 dac  I bought the Concentus  cable for the USB ,For the I2S the Ximius ,and Concentus for Ethernet  the solid cord silver Air,tube dielectric I believe the best digital cables out there and I have tried Shunyata best, AQ best ,these were less money and at least a 10% improvement in overall fidelity Concentus power cords also.  At a Audio get together one member has a whole system of Tubulus Audio cables ,fromHolland ,could not be happier .

Happy with my Aurender N200 streamer paired with Bricasti M3 DAC. Is it a perfect combo? There’s always something better but I’m satisfied for now.
Sold my analog setup - it made no sense ti keep it as it wasn’t going to be used when a digital front end is at this level. Kept the record collection though. Its future is undecided.

I have a thrupple in my digital marriage .  My Bryston DAC3 cohabitates with my Melco N 100 via usb and Cambridge Audio CXN 100 over SPDIF.

  The Melco , which is also my NAS, sounds great and I would probably give it a slight edge over the CA.  There is fantastic separation of instruments, soundstage depth and delineation.

  I added the CA for features.  Chromecast, AirPlay, podcasts, internet radio.  The CA also sounds excellent and many times I use it over the Melco because I might be switching between Chromecast and files on the NAS and it’s just easier than changing the DAC input.

  Lately I’ve been wondering if the slight preference for the Melco renderer is because every thing is contained within the Melco.  When I listen to a file from the Melco NAS over the CA it has to connect by Ethernet.  At any rate I could easily live with either streamer exclusively by as Joel Grey says in Cabaret “..there’s two for one.”
