Is there a DAC ranking list?
Ranking DAC's is a silly idea IMO.  
SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences...
See my comments below. I would buy REL but not SVS. If the intended use was stereo, I would buy Rythmik, which I did, twin FG12 SE. The servo amp is fast... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/svs-sub-owners-past-and-present    
How important is spending time with your gear?
I think it would be great. I like a cleaner look. Your comment got me to think about a local area store in Akron Ohio, Wooster Vintage Audio. They find old stereo console cabinets and resell them. The old stereo console often had your stereo speak... 
Integrated amp to go with Magnepan 3.7i
I agree with russ69. or the musical Fidelity M6si500. Might be the same amp. A beast with finesse.  
McCormack HT 3 Power Amp question
If you disconnect source(s) to the amp, you can isolate the problem. If the amp is causing the buzz (perhaps a transformer issue?) you will hear the sound when all inputs are removed. In many cases just the input (RCA or balanced cables) from your... 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
Everytime I see audiotroy in a thread he spreads his arrogance everywhere and also tries to sell something. I suppose you may get some advice in there... somewhere but arrogance always turns me off personally. To the OP good luck I like the Revels.

Lose weight or buy better fitting pants
baylinor has written the funniest thing I have ever seen on AG. I wonder if he knows it? And yes, I too, still don't know what goose pumps are?? "Life has never been better since I built this house of stereo. Man cave all the way. BIG speakers an... 
Lose weight or buy better fitting pants
I can't loose weight or fit into my pants!? My wife says I am getting fat. I'll start going to the gym, they have good music there, but not as good as mine.  
SVS sub owners, Past and Present
Interesting... I bought a very big sub from them 15+ years ago for HT. I think it was the SVS PB12-NSD/2. I live in Ohio so i picked it up. I had it for a few years, it was hard to tune in, because of the two styro foam plugs. The driver developed... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
To the OP I think your attitude is wise, just get some opinions and look them over. I have always been able to form a better judgement about audio equipment and making decisions by letting other people offer guidance, information and opinions. I... 
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
For those of you who equate higher prices with high fidelity have you ever seen the youtube channel where Danny Ritchie from GR Research compares some hi-fi, high cost speakers to more budget friendly and shows his viewers what they get for the mo... 
Comparison: 2 Sony ES CD players vs Primare d30.2
I have the Sony XA20ES and have always considered it a sleeper CD player. It’s worth noting that SONY and Philips developed the CD format and I think Sony have always made fine audio gear. BTW I am not doubting the 5400 is a great player, but the... 
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
bobpyle and I are in complete agreement. Once the million dollar audio HI-FI system is completed... who listens to it? Is it not primarily that person who owns it? So is it not only the owner's opinion that matters... if its HI-FI?
