My umbilical cable between my preamp and its power supply.
With very little time on my RAL cable what hit me right away was a smooth richness in the midrange timbre, less digital edginess (for lack of a better description) This is inherent with solid care silver, I like it so far. It only had 6 hours on i... 
Matching a amplifier to speakers
Those speakers will shine with a lot of current, I suggest you look at a CODA Continuum No. 8-V1, You should be able to negotiate a deal close to your budget.   
$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice
Take a look at Legacy Speakers, they can handle a large room.

@skasundr   The Iris is only useful if you only have a need to a single USB input. If you have more sources you want connected than the Hermes is the way to go. I use USB, Coaxial and AES/EBU connections.  Clock sync feature too.

I got the cable today, it is more substantial that I expected. I will get it introduced to the system tomorrow, today I am introducing the SNAKE RIVER AUDIO Signature PC to my amp. One thing at a time.

Cool, I have one for my Legacy Audio Wavelet II / HDplex LPS  connection that was supposed to come USPS today but it must be coming tomorrow. It's the Passage CryoSilver™ Reference umbilical power cable. Can't wait to get in and get it cooking.  
Short Review of Revelation Audio Passage Cryo-Silver™ Reference umbilical power cable
Resurrection of this old thread. Yesterday morning  I contacted Brad for an umbilical cable for my HD Plex to Legacy Audio Wavelet II. Last night I got notification it was done and shipping this morning. That was quick!  
Chinese DAC's

I could have started this on the cables thread.....but....
I contacted Brad yesterday morning to build me a umbilical cord between my HD Plex LPS and my Legacy Wavelet II.  He built it immediately yesterday and notified me last night it would ship today. Tha was unexpected service. I have heard nothing bu... 
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
I am going to go against the grain here. I do have the Legacy Audio Focus XD's with the Wavelet II DSP. I use it as my preamp fed by my Terminator 15th DAC. I have a dedicated 14 x 18 x 6.5 room. (Low ceiling) with a massive amount of room treatme... 
Picking a power amp
@twangy57   A set of Forte IV and this amp will sound nice. https://aricaudio.com/super-kt88-120-se/  
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
Late to the party here. JMHO-A $50K DAC would most likely be surrounded with similar priced electronics, cables, speakers and a room with treatments. Therefor it is very likely that the sound quality would be more easily distinguished. So for that... 
Looking to upgrade from Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks
Coda amps mate well with Legacy Speakers. You can check that out at Axpona by stopping by the Legacy room. James from Destination Hifi will most likely be there nd you can ask him about it, or Bill of course.  
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
Contact Aric Audio, I am sure he can make you a tubed linestage with a balance control or 2 volume.
