Digital Disorientation
In a real way I think, that "book" you’re looking for, as others here may tell you, is still being written...and some of the key chapters like any definitive description of what a true audio computer should look like and where you can buy one have... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
My Dad was a Clemson grad, and although I spent a year at Bama myself, I was raised to be a Clemson fan before I was old enough to know what football was. Go Tigers! Beat the best!

+1 on Blackfly being on the right track.Welcome indeed and Happy New year all!

Barfly & Ohlala, thanks for your input here. I suppose though, that my days of enjoying the 'envy of it all' in this hobby are likely behind me really, but I can certainly see your points. I was able to "graduate", if you prefer, past Wilson, ...

This is my own particular sense of it certainly, but I'd say that if you're the kind of customer that does not have a lot of specialized experience or detailed working knowledge or familiarity of the audio market (and perhaps speaker market especi... 
Hardwiring....
Hardwire bypass of speakers connectors is rather worthwhile - as long as they are not made of pure, solid copper (which would likely not result in any gain worth the effort) - a more direct sound most of all, more clear and a bit better timing and... 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
I can only say that revealing cables are IME and IMO a good thing and would be the correct goal, but keep in mind that they may only be revealing a lack of synergy in your gear choices....perhaps especially if your aural experience with them is su... 
List of musicians changed career with better success...
@hifiman5, how do we know they're all women??  ;>) ...sorry, couldn't resist.... (But seriously, I am not knocking Reed, I'm a fan). Seem to recall an obscure little band called The Eagles that produced a few solo careers...Frey, Henley and Wal... 
True audio stories! Do you have any?
In 1989 I was at long last finally getting around to building my first "serious" system (at least in terms of what I could spring for in those days). Everything back then was pretty much brick and mortar, but I had spent some time over the prior 3... 
Will changing gain affect frequency response?
You may well be right George. I have many unanswered questions about this unit and I'm certainly not here to vouch for it, as I've never seen one and don't intend to order one myself. When I go this route it will be with a simple, but good quality... 
Will changing gain affect frequency response?
I second what rlawry says above about the non-linearity of the particular gain control, versus that of the volume control itself in particular.Almost as an aside, Steve Deckert of Decware advocates introducing an extra gain stage control inserted ... 
The "Digital" listening experience
I'm using Alan Maher Designs for AC and DC bidirectional isolation, including their isolation platforms that are the 'bread slices' in my sandwiched stack of components...that means each piece of gear is being treated from both above and below - a... 
Which system would you rather have?
Only that the hierarchy of components is in place and will not need to be changed and that no more component substitutions or additions need to be made. For me I think my wiring is complete with what I have as well. Tweaking here or there may cont... 
Which system would you rather have?
@ mesch: I myself am of the opinion that maybe if I were in any other life than this one, I would be going through door #3 myself...but, I'd say door #2 is turning out to be pretty cool...perhaps unexpectedly so, from where I started out.@ minorl:...
