Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them?
I love a good dump ...  
Listening to music with loud feedback as a tinnitus sufferer
There have been recent studies showing positive impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on tinnitus. Often reasonably priced a few sessions (dives) might be meaningful.   I plan to do it soon ...           
All New Wharfedale Dovedale Loudspeakers : Giant Killers ?!
Remind me of Servo on Mystery Science 3000   Can't to it ....  
Bang for the buck
I think Ascend Acoustics fits the bill ... a lot of happy fans.   https://ascendacoustics.com/  
I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more?
@kota1 great suggestions    My personal favorite is Odyssey, OP.  Have two pieces of gear from Klaus ... simply outstanding musicality.  You will not be disappointed with AVA but higher wattage and sublimity with Stratos.  Best buy in audio!!  
Amp change
Great suggestions ... I just acquired Kismet Amp from Odyssey.   I'm a shill for Klaus in Indianapolis ...   https://odysseyaudio.com/kismet-reference-amplifiers/ Great build, approachable price-points .... good luck!    
Another "Best" amplifier Question.
I'd prefer you look at Odyssey and Audio by Van Alstine ... I'd shy away from Emotiva.     https://odysseyaudio.com/khartago-stereo-amplifier/ https://avahifi.com/collections/preamplifiers/products/transcendence-10-rb-preamplifier?variant=55713... 
SPDIF splitter
Great suggestions @crustycoot  ...  and why is your coot crusty?  
What to try?
Great suggestions @soix et al.  Would love to experience Unison Research ... and TMR is highly rated.

Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions
You'll be happy w Parasound; always safe choice.  Please consider calling Klaus Bunge at Odyssey Audio.  He could build a Kismet Integrated that will be similar price but end-game for you!!    https://odysseyaudio.com/
