New to streaming, looking for a budget streamer
Thanks Bob and Fuzz. Yes, I was thinking a cable connection would be best.  I could easily set my router close to my DAC such that I would not need more than a 10' cable. I believe the Node will take either ethernet or USB. Any recommendations for... 
Moving audio gear in sub zero temperatures
The idea of leaving a piece of gear to reach room temperature after being in the cold prior to running it is a good idea.   
What is a good base for speakers
Often concrete floors are not level, have low spots. I would buy butcher block cut to size and add spikes that can be adjusted for leveling. Maybe stands could be bolted to the butcher block. 
Yamaha vs Rotel
I agree the Yammy would be a bit warmer and likely mate better with your DALI speakers. 
Sharing a subwoofer with 2CH and HTs rigs!
Flynnrd, I understand.  
Devores and Omegas - input please
IMO This thread serves as a fine example of what is best about this forum. Superb observations. Thanks guys. 
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
Well, I am truly in need of more education. My room treatment cost less then 0.5K 
DAC for carousel cd player?
Yes soix made a good point. I have (had) several of the entry level Schiit products and found them to be very competent at their price point.  Have not explored the Modius however.

@bobheinatz  Yes, I plan on keeping mine for a few more years. This after considering replacing it and deciding that I have no idea what amp I would replace it with. Was thinking a Pass XA25. Also was considering returning to an integrated amplifi... 
Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k
Yes, the Atmasphere UV-1 should have been mentioned. Just under $2000 retail. A 6sn7 based unit. Great company to work with.

@prof  Great description of the Devores. Never could have said it so well. Very much what I heard.  
Sharing a subwoofer with 2CH and HTs rigs!
Using the SYS, my thinking is that you could run a pair of RCAs to  input 1 from one amp and to input 2 from the other. Then run a pair of RCAs to the sub from the SYS output (or a y splitter to a single RCA if the sub has single input). Being ver...

Yes, I would love to hear a pair of Daedalus Muse speakers. Do to budget I would have to find a used pair for purchase. Highly unlikely.I have heard the O/93s which I thought sounded great driven by an Line Magnetic 845 integrated. 
Acoustic panels on ceiling
+1 twoleftears  With 2 2x4' panels I would think centering them half way between front plane of speakers and one's head position while sitting in listening chair would cover the reflection point sufficiently.
