Audio envy - dang!
@kclone, to hook up the ground simply plug it into an unused AC outlet opening made for the ground plug.  
Suggestions on improvement
 The OP said: "I'm 78 with age related hearing decline" The gentlemen that recommend upgrades in components are assuming the OP will be able to hear a difference. I'm not sure that is the case.

@scott22 I'd suggest that you keep your system exactly as is. I would add one of the Schiit LOKI tone controls (four to choose from for as little as $150 and up) that way you can custom the music to your liking. Feel free to message me through Aud... 
LAIV Harmony
I respect Hans review, if thats what he heard in his system, so be it. I’d say his review is spot on however I still do not hear brightness in my system.  
LAIV Harmony
Obviously Hans Beekhuyzen spent a great deal of time putting together his review of the LAiV Harmony DAC. I'm very curious as to how many hours of use he put on the DAC prior to his critical listing.

Illumination

EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them?

ClassDaudio.com...GANFETamps anyone familiar?
@joekapahulu If I were you I would contact Class D Audio through their website and explain what you are looking for etc, it would not surprise me if they would extend the demo period of time for you on an individual basis.
