Rein in the winter static
Good call on a humidifier @audioquest4life i use a Vesync here and beyond static it also keeps your skin and throat from getting dry!

@davegolf2424 I don't have an Innuos but I used an Sbooster BOTW with my Auralic Aries Mini it's really well built and gave a nice bump in SQ.  
Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled
Defective cable would be my guess as well.  
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
Audio Note AN-K/lx should fit the bill and be around $5K.

Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
Let's add Martial Solal who I just saw passed at age 97 considered the greatest European pianist and a great composer. And @toddnlg I used to love listening to Mariam McPartland's NPR show back in the day!

Streamers and software
I use Auralic and their LDS app is excellent and not especially buggy. One thing to keep in mind streamers are essentially computers occasionally you may find a bug.  
Other High End Audio Forums
I highly recommend the Steve Hoffman forums.

Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
@lalitk that's a great list but a few additions for me:   Piano: Michel Petrucciani Saxophone: Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderly Trumpet: Lee Morgan Guitar: Jim Hall, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass Bass: Stanley Clark And let's not forget the Trombon... 
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
Any particular genre you're looking for?  
Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis
@macg19 agreed such a tragedy and @lalitk I'll have to listen to some Chris Botti it's been quite a while for me thanks for the reminder.  
Why isn’t more detail always better?
Too much detail can be very distracting I discovered that with a fantastic pushpull 45 amp in my system it was just too much.  
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
Looks like 11% for me at prices paid I have no idea at retail most of my cables were bought used.
