Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup
@bigtwin I'd assume because tubes sound better. ;)  
I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode
Optomized topology is a good point and also a good argument for buying an amp with a single topology because you know it's optimized for it.  
Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)?
Auralic Aries G1 would fit the bill and can be found under $2K used.

They look awesome well done!

Todd a very cool project! Any pics of them all setup? Also is the material rubber or some sort of plastic?

Also keep in mind that Airplay is lossy so Wifi or ethernet should definitely sound better.  
Can someone explain the clock sync?
Regardless of how it works you will never know it's an improvement until you stop using the clock and compare. It may be a PITA but it's the only way to really know.  
Is all the hype warranted
I'd say if you really want to try a Decware amp pick one up used, should be easy to resell. People who ears I trust, like Larry, have said they are not that great but I've never heard a Decware amp.  
Streaming/DAC Upgrade
I'm a big Auralic fan here running an Aries G1 currently I've always been a fan of keeping the streamer and Dac separate so I vote S1. Early reviews from users are glowing on the Auralic forums.  
Help me identify an amp
+1 on the variac and nice and slow you don't want to fry the amp especially transformers which are the best part.  
I created a listing but I can’t get it to post on audiogon
Yes Tammy rocks she will fix it for you.  
Need help: Tannoy or B&W?
Night and day differences there I'd personally choose Tannoy but I am of course not you. Take some time and listen if you can.  
DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ??
Lampizators sound very good and would definitely be an upgrade at that price point you might also look at Audio Note Dacs.  
Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review
Congrats audionoobie sounds like a great bargain speaker glad you're loving them!  
??? Full Loom vs Mix ???
A mix has worked well for me I've gotten close to a full loom a few times and always backed off. My Jorma/Kondo/Auditorium23/Audio Note UK mashup works really well together. However it is all about finding synergy.
