Hey Wolf, what's this extreme affinity to sheep..? You heard the story about the shepard who got real lonely on a cold winter night, soft music played and....remembering any fond memories??!! 
PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp
I have heard those PSBs paired with Bryston monoblocks and they sounded quite dynamic and very musical. Aside from your room configuration - on that later,  your issue as said before could be a matching issue. Your space arrangement seems to sugge... 
Need Help to Understand Issue with Volume Control
All fair points. Good to hear that the "stored" content sounds better than when played from the changer. 
Need Help to Understand Issue with Volume Control
All great suggestions but just out of curiosity why try to essentially hookup two integrated amplifiers together. A stand alone music server would have been a better option. You are basically adding components in the audio path that can be avoided...

McIntosh MC303. Your Ethos will love it.

DAC for CD transport
Good choice. Looks like an excellent fully balanced unit. Enjoy. 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
In my opinion, the two components that you compared are suited for (completely) different applications. They might sound "similar" at lower listening volumes driving relatively efficient (and moderately sized) T6s but the MC601s have the potential... 
Full range speaker/high power amp
Thanks for all the inputs. I'm looking at a few different full range/ single driver design options that I feel comfortable to build myself. Great winter project (alongside of my motorcycle engine rebuilding) to take on. Of course, the real cool pa... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I have heard the PL integrateds at the dealer, shows, and friends’ homes and they sound and look great. However, if it were me, I would consider the choice of the speakers, size of the listening room, and the type of music played, all into conside... 
Full range speaker/high power amp
I'm have converted an 11'X13' bedroom into a music room for occasional near field listening at low to medium volumes.These speakers will initially replace my good old JBL L40s I've owned since college. The issues around unwanted hum, hiss, or even... 
Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound
You may want to try bypassing the Bel Canto and see/hear if those same contents sound better. The non-MQA DAC will limit the sampling to 96 if those contents were originally streamed at 192. The trade-off is going to be between the quality of the ... 
Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality
Bluesound Node 2 plus a Tidal HiFi subscription. Or depending on your budget, go with a new Bryston BDP-2 or a used BDP-1 if you don't care about MQA.

What do you mean by 4 ft knee walls? Something doesn't add up - a typo perhaps. If not, I'd be looking at real small monitors, no stands required.....  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I just replaced the stock fuse in the headlight wiring harness of my old Jeep with a black SR fuse and wow, the lumens are now off the charts.... its even brighter than the LEDs on my other fancy car.....Just kidding...... but hey why not if it wo...
