~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
@heinrichmilw ,Love the D48Rs...stunning sound. You should post pics of your system. Would love to see them. 
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
@kineticaudio,Which preamp did you pick up?I have not heard the Modwright, but own the Rhumba 1.3 and love it. 
Well, I finally replaced Toslink with USB ...and I'm glad I did...
@mikeydee,Very nice setup there. I like the USB to DAC option too. Mine is an old 2010 Asus laptop upgraded with 8GB RAM and SSD.@fuzztone,Please elaborate on why one should keep computer away from audio room? 
Which SACDs?
Here is a source for SACD:https://store.acousticsounds.com/cat/4/SACD Since the Oppo also acts like a DAC, you can purchase DSD files from the same site and play through it. I think you will enjoy the music though SACDs.

You are welcome @divertiti 
Cerious technologies or audio envy
Never heard the Cerious.But we decided to go with Audio Envy in my friends' system and I really liked them. 
My testing confirms 16/88 is the best sounding sample rate
Try to upsample PCM to DSD (256/512, whichever your DAC supports) and play through your DAC. Then compare it with your 16/88. Let us know how that goes.

Line conditioner...
Good to know. And that also answers your original question :-) 
Line conditioner...
@ mikeydee,Absolutely! I have had great result from my Inakustik conditioner. Which one did you try yet?

Thanks for the update teajay.Knowing your posts on other threads I am assuming that it did not dethrone your reference Bricasti :-) 
Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
@limomangus,There are people buying $2-5 million hypercars, People buying $22 million yachts, etc. Why are you so surprised? 
Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members
Ha.....people have activated threads here after 12 years. 
Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers
@mm1tt77,Before you change speakers, try some Audio Envy speaker cables in your system and check if that brings out the balance you are looking for. If that does not work you can return them for a full refund and then take the next steps.
