I'm all for doing a final tuning with cables once i land on the sound I am after.
The USB is the Wireworld Silver Starlight, and the AES cable is the Gold Starlight 7.
I suspect cables can do some changes, however, in both cases it is the same AES cable going into the Baltic 3.
I was previously trying out a Roon Nucleus feeding USB into the Berkley and AES to the B3-
With the N10, I've run both ways (same cables) and am surprised how the USB > Alpha > N10 sounds more musical to me-

Another idea is you could try going directly from the Aurender N10 with a Shunyata Delta or better USB cable to the Lampi's USB port, and not use the Berkeley Alpha USB, and try that, as well.
I've found that less "gear": cables, devices, and usually, the power supplies for those devices in the path between the source and the DAC, the better.
