Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Bill,I think experimentation is the order of the day re: where to connect grounding wires.I am excited that you are delving into this. We will all likely benefit from your experiences with this project. Dave 
Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Ozzy, I found the effect of the Passive GB subtle in comparison to the Active GB. Even changing tuning bullets on the power cord included with the Active GB has more effect on the sound than the Passive GB alone in my system.I suspect that Bill is... 
Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
I originally bought the SR passive grounding block and followed by getting the Active version. Two SR HD grounding cables were part of the latter deal (one with the RJ-45 connection for my router/modem and one with a RCA connector for my DAC) and ...

Superbly written review, wig. Congrats on owning what I am sure is a top-notch DAC. Enjoy!Dave 
Ideas for my next DAC....?
The OP was very specific in his requirements and the Oppo Sonica meets only one of those three regardless of its sound quality. Do people even bother to read the original post anymore or just view every thread as a vehicle to tout their favored ge... 
Ideas for my next DAC....?
Excellent suggestion David.Dave 
Ideas for my next DAC....?
It is a rare animal that meets all of those requirements. The Yggdrasil meets none of the OP’s stated requirements and neither the Codex nor the Adagio recommended above meet the first requirement of having Ethernet input. This narrows the field q... 
buy a better usb cable or a BT for system

@audiothesis,Not a tube amplifier, but a good example of a current Chinese SOTA product. Please review this link and tell us if your build and parts quality requirements are not met. Note the transformers:https://www.denafrips.com/terminator3 year...
