Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier
Try the new Modwright SWL 9.0 Anniversary Edition preamp.  Priced at $3K and CEO Dan Wright is a great guy to work with. He can possibly offer you a 14 day home trial.  
Universal Remote to control Bel Canto Pre2
I wondered if anyone here is kind enough to let you 'borrow' his remote. I am sure you wouldn't mind paying shipping for the favor :) 
Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system
I heard very high praises for Yggdrasil.  With 15 days no question asked return policy, you got nothing to loose except two way shipping cost. http://schiit.com/products/yggdrasil 
Aurender iOS app
I prefer coax over toslink, to my ears coax cable sound transparent and less constricted.    
Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????

Looking for a Network Music Player
Couple of players comes to mind, Cambridge Audio's CXN and Cocktail Audio X12. I have owned Cambridge Audio's 851N for about 6 months before switching to Aurender N100H and then N10. The latter two units offer path to purist approach.  Depending o...

Cable congestion vs. "the ideal"...

Cable congestion vs. "the ideal"...
I am using two dozen of Shunyata's dark field minis to separate cables. Very effective and reasonably priced. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-2784-shunyata-dark-field-minis-12pk.aspx 
Dedicated Line(s), One Line or Two?
1 + lowrider57. I am using two dedicated line conditioners, one for digital sources and the other one for preamp/power amps to great effect.

@jafant .....I do own a 12K SACD player, might as well make use of it :-)I found some Chris Botti / Diana Krall titles in SHM-CD format.  Thank you for your feedback.   
Internet music sellers
@dayglow  ...do you have any experience with SHD-CD's?  Are they better than regular CD's.  Thank you for the recommendation, I did check the website, good selection and shipping is reasonable too.  
Is a stereo amp, when bridged to mono, by definition differential?
Howard, Incase you're shopping, ModWright KWA150SE amp should be on your top 5 list. The amp is transformer coupled at the balanced inputs then direct coupled throughout, fully dual mono, fully-differential and uses no global feedback. It is a pow...

1+ejr1953. IMO, Digital music is the only way to go. I often wondered its merits before switching to digital streaming last year. Now I can't imagine paying $30-$40 for remastered CD's or LP's. I see OP point, both elusive disc and music direct si...
