what dacs are fast, lively, energetic?
Chord for sure.   
Is all the hype warranted
Give it 6 months and they’ll be a ton on the used market. All hype and marketing. I’m sure it sounds good but all these adhd guys in this hobby will soon tire of them.     
Faint buzz in speakers
I had the same problem with a krell amp I had.  I just took care of the problem. I sold the amp. It wasn’t jiving with my ac current in my house. It was fine for the guy I sold it to.   
Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp
Accuphase.   
3 tone control integrated amp/preamp
Accuphase. If you can get a us voltage one at a decent price. Spectacular.   
Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?
Thin lizzy- whiskey in the jar.   
Reasonably priced preamplifier
Any Jeff Rowland preamp. Works of art, quiet and quite reasonable in the used market.   
Qobuz and Tidal comparison
I had Qobuz but cancelled it and went back to tidal. Too many dropouts and software issues. I have very few issues with tidal and they also dropped the price. I’ll stick with tidal.   
Mcintosh MCD12000 issues
Call the dealer man!   
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
Any accuphase amplifier. Especially the class a amps.   
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
The electrical engineer went to school and studied electric. I would follow his recommendation. I’m a builder and I recommend the same. 3 dedicated outlets. Pretty cut and dry.   
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
You’re looking for a hot tweeter. Look for something with amt or ribbon tweeters.  Dynaudio, Harbeth or any British speaker probably not a good fit. I’d look seriously at focal. Maybe even audio vector. Good luck.   
Phono Preamp Selection
Lounge audio. No brainer.   
The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma
I just hit the comp on my accuphase and it’s great and lower volumes. Full, luscious and tasty.   
What Power Amplifier Should I Buy?
Get the bryston 4b3. You already like the bryston sound and it will give you greater extension in all areas of your system.
