Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
Most everyone’s tastes are different. Many suggested albums I couldn’t play through one time. Or are already tired of. I am glad they work for someone. I could live with West Side Story OST 1961. My first entry in a favorite complete album list. ... 
Am I harming my amp?
No. Misplaced worry.  
Does a DAC like this even exist?
No.  
My Portable Audio Rig
I have 2 DAPs that are smaller than a phone, run Bluetooth and play lossless and better. Just do what you gotta do.  
Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’?
Try 5.1 SACDs. Besides your AVR can send matrixed channels to the rears so what's your malfunction?  
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Silly you. Not spending more -  the dollar has been devalued.  
Tidal or Qobuz
Whichever one did not buy into the MQA fraud. Theranos anyone?  
Streamer question
If you think that BluuOS is a great app keep it. You will be restricted to NAD (Lenbeook) Not much of an upgrade path.  Or put on your BB pants and move on. You’ll find it’s usually better to have a dedicated app for a given player. Pro-Jest S2 U... 
Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system
Trying? I have the TV audio also go into my HiFi preamp through a stereo DAC but I don’t use it much because the stereo sound is good enough through the planars. Better to go 5.1 with 2 ESLs and 3 ribbons. Much of the video I watch is 5.1+ which... 
Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system
I have a completely seperate 5.1 system coaxial with my 2.1 hifi system. I share the sub array through a manual switch. Most TV I just listen to via Monsoon Planar 9s plugged directly into the TV.  
Newbie help with headphone gift choice.
The Sony's are comfortable, durable (only pad flaking in 30 years) and easy to drive. The negative is static electricity causes "ear shocks.". Not recommended for dry environments. Can be mitigated with anti static spray. I replaced them with Fo... 
Does Qobuz work
Sounds like Tidal Connect. Qobuz has had longer to work on it than it took Tidal to implement a Connect feature ala Spotify. Maybe they are not up to it. Maybe like Spotify rumors to go flac or better. BluOS does not seem particularly "easy" to ... 
SACD is VERY confusing
What is PMC?  Yeah, ripping anything makes it much easier to play back whole.    
Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs
+1 ricred1 Yessir. Some DACs "open" horizons (PRAT) comparitively. Typically the end listener is the only one that can decide what is "best" for them.  Bingo.  
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
Buy a modern solid state amp with protection. I share 1 pair of speakers with 2 amps. I always forget to switch until no skun emerges. I’ve never hurt nothin’. What you are attempting sounds hazardous to your HiFi budget.
