Tweaking the network, surprising results…
I have got my Draytek 2860 router on a Zerozone LPS with an Add Powr Eau2 power conditioner, both on a separate power branch from the system off the main board. choice of power-  and DC-cables matters equally. Ideally the router needs to be at lea...

Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?
@nyev, you are spot-on. It does though irk that innuOS makes you buy two power supplies and 2 clocks for more or less the same purpose, doesn‘t it? And adding the $6-7k to the DAC budget might have significant benefits as well…  
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
All other things equal start on cleaning up the power  
WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips

The Phoenix in my mind is a bit of a kludge: rather than improving the overall clocking of the Dac and by asynchronous USB the connection and slaving to the server it only addresses the latter. Reclocking the Dac is more powerful, that’s the route... 
Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures

cheapest cable upgrade ever

cheapest cable upgrade ever

My point is that consumer level cd players distort, pretty sure that Qobuz has direct streaming access from servers.
