CD Player with digital input?
Buy a good optical glass digital cable and use it as link between the Sonos and Benchmark. I just saved you about $650. 
What is the 'Chales Shaw' of loudspeakers?
Has the manufacturing of wines undergone as much technological development as the making of speakers? It seems on principle erroneous to expect one industry to precisely mirror another. You are speaking of a situation where potentially a 4-6% inve... 
Pathos or ...
I have reviewed both the Classic One MkIII in bridged mode as well as the Ayon Spirit on Dagogo.comThe Pathi arrangement is another thing altogether, a very significant step up from a Classic One in stereo mode. 
Is this when you have "arrived??"
Now, if he would have cried listening to Bork, that would have meant something. 
Anything under 3 years is just flirting....
Too many speakers, too little time... 
Has anyone lost their best friend?
Chadnliz, rent Schwarzenegger's "The Sixth Day" with your little buddies at your side. That movie may cure you of your itch to bring Fido back! 
Give Up?
Bombaywalla, I didn't see any signs of damage on it, but I think it was a solder joint covered by the shrink wrap leading up to the spade. One cannot always tell just by looking. Maybe it happened while I was handling them while eating fried chick... 
Give Up?

Cold, Cold, all responses cold so far! You begin to see that this was beyond a simple misconfiguration issue. This was a tube DAC, but it was not a bad tube. 
Give Up?
Good guesses, but not correct yet. I have the solution/answer and the fix already; I appreciate advice, but the situation is already corrected. I just want to see if anyone can guess what the problem was. Just a fun system "brain teaser" for enjoy... 
Preference for large drivers?
Joe, Shadorne, you are absolutely right. I had posted a short reply and do not know why it did not appear. I simply stated that smaller drivers are not the same as larger in the same way that a four cylinder engine does not perform the same way as... 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?
Take a look at my review of the Legacy Audio Focus HD:http://www.dagogo.com/LegacyFocusHD.htmlSeems to meet your citeria and the specs compare very favorably to the Avalon Eidolon Diamond. 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
Kbarkamian, I believe the problems will return. I had a couple units which could go a week without any problems, then they'd surface. Display not coming back on? Have not heard that one before. Add it to the list...
