Well, how about that!  Like the others, never heard about them.  Add a wee bit of old Chicago into it also.  
Which HDMI cable for I2S?
I use AFTERDARK. BLACK MAGIC MKII CARBON FIBER SHIELDING (CFS) I2S HDMI CABLE between my DAC and transport.  Designed specifically for digital audio.  Hand made in Asia somewhere.  I think it sounds better than an off the shelf do everything HDMI ... 
Need some treble
What speakers?  I have a suggestion but you must be comfortable getting inside the cabinet and get access to the crossover.  If the tweeter circuit is designed with a choke(resistor), reduce the ohm value a bit.  Maybe 0.5 ohms.  Had to the same m... 
In-wall cable
My home was built 65 years ago by do-it-yourself owners.  Lord knows what's inside these walls.  ☹  
Jazz Mount Rushmore
Huh? First, maybe we should establish what is the definition of "Jazz". When you think "Jazz", what/who comes to mind?  For me, I do not always think of the old classic musicians mentioned above.  Miles on occasion maybe.  
vibration control - cd player
OK Guys.  Don't laugh. I had a BooS Blocks large cutting board laying around here for years, unused.  Not cheap.  Some kind of hardwood.  Then, someone here mentioned using one.  I figured what the heck.  Set it up with a few old anti vibe pucks ...

I also recommend the Pontus.  Very happy with mine in my system.  Always used the I2S input from my cd transport.  Just purchased the Pontus 12th-1 so will be selling the original soon.  
A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
Be aware All.  The link provided to Audiophilemusic is to purchase a DOWNLOAD of the CD.  NOT the CD itself.  The OP did not make that clear.  I made the mistake and thought I was getting a CD sent to me.  Audiophilemusic will not refund.  
A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
OK.  I'll bite on this one.  Just 6 bucks.  Will post with my impressions.

Is anybody using the new Afterdark music server?
I have been using their Black Magic I2s cable for my CD transport to dac for a few years with great results.  
Earth (isolated) ground vs. wall outlet ground.
Interesting topic.  I've been asking myself these same questions for years.  My old sixty three year small house has all two prong outlets from an old fuse panel.  The only ground is through the wall to the ground rod(I assume) buried to this pane... 
What new gear have you just bought?
"Swiss Digital Fusebox"  Hhmm?  Is it designed so it can be opened or is it sealed in epoxy? Waiting for my new CHoco Sound · EMEI Integrated Amp.  Had to give it a try.  
Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?
You used the term "someone".  Is that someone a close friend or family?  Maybe that someone was purposely being an a** ,  because of jealousy and wanted to knock you down a bit? I love the sound of my system and I'm the only human that has listen...
