Speaker Cable Recommendation
@stereo5 Good cable choice.   
ADD-POWR POWR BAR
Wisdom Cables make outstanding products and they are star grounded, just power distribution no filtering or conditioning. I have all my amplification and pre-amp plugged into the ES-10SR. https://wisdomcabletechnology.com/collections/power-distru... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
Roger nails it here in this piece posted on Daily Audiophile today: https://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/1021/Are_You_Part_Of_The_Eighty_Percent.htm @bigtwin No one is holding you here at gunpoint, so go! OK then, the question has ... 
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
If you want cheap crap that will eventually fail then buy cheap crap. As some here with old ears say or no listening skills say. My post for the day.   
Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache.
@audiotroy the NAD M10 V2 is a PurFi Class D and is not a digital integrated amplifier.  Come on Man you're an NAD Dealer??    
Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation.
I am of the opinion that Benchmarks class G amplification sounds to sterile, at least when I auditioned it some time back, but I am also a valve fan and enjoy my distortion like Nelson Pass.

@grh1958 You are all good man. Just had Dylan Mulvany delivering my free Bud Light. 🤣 and she/he asked what an Audiophile was. Though I do know a couple of ladies that enjoy our hobby, I go 4 wheeling with them.   @jacobsdad2000 Sorry and I don't...

@grh1958 you had to go there?   
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
In this category, price range I would look at the Schiit. Great sound, build quality and built in the USA, if that has any influence on your decision.   
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
@arafiq yours is the best post in this thread so far.  I’m not sure if it’s prudent to quote Steve Huff to prove your point.
