Thanks for your advice. I installed a few months ago a top notch fuse into the GG and the benefits are indeed clearly noticeble and important. Using two top of the bill silver usb cables coming from the 'same house' as the Tidal pc's I am using in the LA system at the moment. These usb cables are not yet commercially available but are by far the best usb cables I have heard so far. And you are right: different/better quality usb cables matter a lot!
AC, Is worth speaking with the cable maker to see if his cable is unpowered. That simple step alone will give @30% improvement in overall SQ.
