Easy to use if you like persistent queue. I don't. Every file that I plug into the USB-A plays into the digital outputs. I store on external SSD. If I wanted what you do I would go with an iFi and not pay for an unused DAC. AirPlay is  puts th...

Oh Happy Day, the Fina is sold out.  
USB microphone setup to measure room for PC or Chromebook (non Apple user)
UMIK-2 if you are serious.

The only reason for 2 parallel stereo DACs is if you have 4 ears. And two amps, 4 speakers. Go for it. I would retire the noisy PC. And have. A lowly Node outperforms it.  
Best combo for sound and picture quality in a Blu-ray player?
Stay with the X800. Outperforming Oppo for less is a virtue. And still in production - only up 55% in four years. Plus tax.

Plug Rel Subwoofer into speaker posts rather than amp?
The only damage possible is in the audio via cheap crummy speaker cables. Probably negligible to a sub.  
PowerWedge III conditioner went up in smoke
My Powerwedge is deep in a landfill.  
Why not?
Better cables do not produce better sound. Start over.  
Need help deciding on a new amp
Slam is inaccuracy.

Can't be everything, just what you know to try.  
New setup advice - coming from Sonos and going to analog
Why a receiver? Most are not worthy.
