Itching for an SACD player
Marantz SA8260.But you need to compare it to others - in person. I took my dealer' demo unit home - listened to it 1 whole day against the DV7600 - which I badly wanted to buy because wife wanted universal player. The next day I took the SA8260 to... 
Music Hall CD-25.5 vs CD-25 w/mods??
NAD C542 + Signal Cable Power Cord should take care of your requirements. The power cord improves imaging, soundstage and cleaner backgrounds. The NAD also plays HDCD - if you are interested.

Very true Walkman...they will sound a bit boomy that close to wall. But absolutely no complains in the midrange if that close to wall - atleast for me. Now after 7 months of placement position adjustment, I have got them to sound very similar to h...

Bringing the fun back into audio - cheap CD tweaks
Cheapest would be to handle the CDs carefully and to put them back into the jewel-case after the listening session. Don't let your non-audiophile friends to handle them carelessly $0.Advantage is scratch-free CDs and jewel cases. 
Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?
At then end of the day when you come home and play your music - it should relax you, make you want to play more, set you in that toe-tapping mood. If it cannot do that, then whatever the cost/brand - it is a shame-fi!! 
Advice on a speaker purchase
Heeee.....I answered this question of your's on ausioasylum forum :-)). But will still say - audition the Quads. I auditioned them accidentally and ended up owning them. 
decent integrated to replace NAD 3400
A NAD is the only integrated that can replace NAD.Just kidding. But you have a lot of options in that price range. The only thing is you need to personally audition them. Start with Arcams, NADs, Rotels, Roksan Kandy, Music Hall, Creek. On Audiogo...

You need Signal Cable Power Cords. 
Good Interconnects for NAD?
Signal Cable Silver Resolution. 
best sacd out there 1,000.00 or so
Marantz SA8260. Get an in-home demo and be ready to be amazed. If you listen to Jazz/Classical, then SACD will make it. Else you will not make it with SACD. 
Small-ish speakers for a very large room?
You need to audition the Quad 12Ls or 21Ls. 
Best cd player for under $800.00
If you can find a Marantz SA8260, nothing else comes close to it in the price range. It is so good in CD-playback that you can compare it to CD only players costing upto $2500. But the best way to find it out is to get a demo in your listening env...
