Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
Very difficult if not impossible. That is why Goldenear speakers have the built-in sub...    
What difference do power cables make?
According to the reviewer, premium power cables do make difference but can be acquired / made cheaply (around $80?). He even demos the sonical difference to the much more expensive PS-audio cable.

Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/new-products/MCD12000 I am surprised that, for a $12k Dac/CD player, its Dac section does not have I2s input and its player does not have I2s output...  
How important is spending time with your gear?
A meaningless post from a poopy head himself...  
Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp?
"A gross lack of bass is NOT characteristic of that amp or any properly functioning modern HiFi SS amp..." With due respect, I disagree with this statement here.  The disparity of treble, midrange and bass sound signatures among all types of am... 
Looking for a change.
+1 Hegel. Trade YH in for a used H160 150 wpc or Parasound Hint 6 160 wpc.  
Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation
Although active 2-channel speaker option is supposed to be preferrable to the soundbar, the OP granting his best half's wishes is far more correct decision.  Happy wife, happy life.  Good luck.  
Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp?
You might want to consider trading YH 1200 for a used Hegel H90 with some money left back to your pocket. This integrated amp is equipped with more than adequate DAC/Stream which allows you to play music directly from Hegel. It is a very wonderful...

i kinda hesitate to recommend my beloved Linton because they exceed your price range and a used pair is hard to find.  But since the Audiogoners keep mentioning them, let me render my recommendation to you here with a reservation.  That is your Ad... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
@holmz Freedom of choice is what you’ve got here, but I am not sure if freedom from choice is what you want. Do your due diligence first and get the list down to three before home trials. Otherwise I could go with the flow here and throw in the re... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
List is really too long.  New or used.  Bookshelf or floor stander.  Need to do your own homework.  Read reliable reviews such as Stereophile or on-line.  You will get much better information that is from true experts instead of ad-hoc opinions he... 
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
@tobes The OP has a top class system, I doubt he wants to go from a DAC with ~22 bit resolution to one with ~10 bit resolution. Most of high end or even lower end DAC could process 24-32 bit rate up to 768 khz signal depending upon the input, A... 
Best audiophile earwax removal system?
After you have the ears cleaned, how much percentage of improvement in imaging you have perceived before and after the installation of $10k cable I wonder?  Please do the blind test.  
Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1
  @larsman The Op just decided to sell his Fritz 6 months after this written review. How about you? Did you keep the Fritz or the Harbeth?  I will not be surprized if you choose to let Fritz go IF you adore/crave for the midrange more than every...
