Would love to hear how you have your dCS connected to your system. Specifically interested in cabling/ethernet/power cords, etc. and how you get your signal to your dCS. Also, how do you have it connected to your system (preamp, etc.) for playback. Please share any tweaks or how you started and how you got it to where it is today?

Footnote: I would be interested to know if readers would invest in a Rossini Apex upgrade prior to Power cable upgrades…
Nice set up @Kernel. You make a great point about upgrading power cables prior to adding Apex. Cabling/Cords are so underrated. When I invested in an all Transparent set up late last year it was by far the best addition sonically to my system. What I love about the my Reference speaker cables is that Transparent biased them to my amp (Audio Research) and my speakers (Wilson Alexia).
