@kingbr  I don't think you are following me. Do not change your pin out configuration, it's not the problem because the other two sources RUN THROUGH YOUR HERMES and that I2s cable sound fine. It can't be the pin out or they would present the same...

I honestly don’t think the pin out is the problem because you said it ONLY happens with the USB connection from your streamer. The other connections (Coax and optical) to your Hermes play fine yet ALL of them go through the I2s from Hermes to your...

Final Touch Sinope USB?
I will add the Audience frontrow Reserve USB into the mix, I love mine.  
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
I agree with @soix , since my streaming set up has eclipsed the sound quality of my CD playback set up I don't listen to them much anymore. Only if i can't find it or i just feel like spinning a CD.

OK good, let us know if that helped.

Well your call, take it out and see if it improves, if not then try your USB cable. Sometimes too much of a good thing turns out to not be so. It appears to be some kind of filter for ethernet but I don;t understand why a person would run more USB... 
Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?
I have an .75M Audience frontRow Reserve USB which is superb. NOT inexpensive though. I too am thinking the shorter the better.

Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?

what dacs are fast, lively, energetic?
Chord maybe?  
Will an Amp change improve my system ?
Of the amps you have listed I can vouch for the Coda s5.5  It has 100 amps of high current and should drive the 6 ohm Harbeth easily. It is a very good amp, I love mine. My system is in my user page. What I love about my Coda is it tells you every... 
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
This is great everyone and thank you for all the suggestions, I got some homework to do! I should have not described my wishes as smooth jazz, that isn't correct. Some I have already added to the Jazz playlist are Kenny Burell, Wes Montgomery, Ron... 
Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled
@audphile1  Good to know you got a chance to get this resolved, now get ready to really enjoy your music, give the cable lots of time-that silver is a boitch to break in.
