Soundlab MiniStat and Wallstat
I've never seen a bad review of ANY SoundLab speakers.  I think that you'll be more happy with DynaStats.  
Grounding an Integrated Amplifer
Sounds like confusion between. electrical grounding (safety) and source grounding (for noise control of weak signals from phono pickups.)  
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
I used a computer for at least 20 years before  moving on (up.) No comparison. One can believe computer sound to be *good" if you never hear the difference.  
Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?]
Sounds like the amp to me.  
Time to make a change ?
I'm not sure that any other player will return to where one left off in a playlist. Good luck finding one. BluOs tech might have never even thought of it.   It's not like resuming a movie on Netflix. I only listen in random mode 99% of the time. A... 
Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2
I am partial to the Alecs. They are more musical to me and why sneeze at well implemented 8.75"s?/  
The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma
EQ units are OK for the task except that they are fixed. Well implemented loudness function tapers off as the volume increases.  
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
More important than ground for safety is proper polarization. I remember the old days of finding the quietest orientation for each plug.  And shocking PA systems.  
Seeking Streamer & Dac that has 12s outputs and inputs
PS Audio invented i2s over HDMI cable. Almost all others use the same pin assignment and some devices allow you to change it for compatibility if need be.  
Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned.
They suck at returns or any customer service. Once you give them money it’s like a donation. If you get anything it will be crapola. They have no company return policy It is set by each vendor. And they have to pay up to Xi.  
UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC
Switching can be OK if engineered correctly. You should hear a difference before spending blindly.  
Ascend Acoustics - any experienced users?
I love my Sierra Raal. It blends well in the center with ESLs on its flanks. I ordered it as a center (not stipulating vertical) so I had to turn the ribbon 90°.  No sweat.  Much easier to understand dialogue vs any domes I have tried.  
Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp
There is only one optimum way to hook two overlapping pieces together in audionirvana. Which ever way sounds best to you. Not some reviewer.  
Can you think of a reason not to?
Just have 3 seperàte systems (amps) for big stereo, little stereo and surround. Then you can tailor their sound as you wish.  
Digital Sputter or Stutter?
Practice makes perfect. 10K hours should do it. When you uncover any solutions, take note or you might repeat wrong pathways.
