Looking for a CD Player
I second the Rotel RCD 1572 MKII. It’s the single play CD player in my system. It has a good DAC. I would encourage you to try streaming. I’m over getting up and down too to change the disc. Old guys like us need to try new things that will help.... 
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
If you are looking in the $4K range, suggest checking out the Holo Audio May DAC.  Cost $4,200+ new depending on the build you choose.  End game for some.

55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
My TV in my main listening room is 65 inches.  I sit in a recliner right in the middle about 3 meters/9 feet away.  I have it hooked up to my 2.2 music system.  Thinking about getting a used soundbar just for watching TV when needed.    
Borresen X3 measurements
I use measurements as a guide when shopping for equipment including speakers because I tend to like a balanced sound that’s easy to EQ.  I had an old set of powered 4-way towers that didn’t measure well but I loved the booming lower end.  I moved ... 
Questions About Speakers
I agree with the comments.  I’ve had speakers last a long time but not forever.  I have had a bad experience with high-cost powered speakers not lasting as long and needing repair or replacement.  I’ve had passive speakers last for 20+ years with ... 
Synergy
Congratulations on your marriage and your new system ( my wife would say in that order).  I agree with synergy.  The components have to work together to achieve what you’re looking and listening for within your budget.  Enjoy!    
Speaker cables with good timbre
I’ve used cables from Blue Jeans and SVS and Audioquest (because it was a great one-time deal). Recently purchased my first cable from Pine Tree Audio in Fitchburg, MA. Locally Well made with a lot of choices including color, which is fun, and rea... 
My new B Stock speakers
I agree with the set them up and let them play strategy. I do at about 25-30% power/volume using my 300 disc Sony carousel for content. I listen in a dedicated room so it’s no issue to leave them running 24/7.  
Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers?
I’ve never heard those B&Ws.  Listened to the 702 S2 and 703 S5 and I preferred the sound of the Revels.  I have a small room so I don’t need towers to fill the space with sound.  If you like the sound of the B&Ws that’s all that matters i...

Thanks for the Brian Bromberg recommendation.  Didn’t know about his album playing Hendrix.  Also checking out ZZ Hill.    
New Eversolo DMP-A10
I purchased and returned both the A6 and A8 to Amazon using UPS.  My issues were with the Eversolo’s staying connected to my system.  I loved everything about them but I would be streaming a song and suddenly would get a message on the app that it...
