Those speakers got a lot of love at hifi Munich.  I'm am intrigued by them.  Would love to hear a pair locally.     
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Absolutely.... your kids will sell it for peanuts when you die anyway!    Enjoy now.   It's like having a classic car you don't drive.   Why save it for the next guy?  
Bluesound mode not really cutting it
I would change out the preamp , DACs are pretty good nowadays.  A great preamp makes a big difference in my experience.   
Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC
Judging by the quality of Jays subsidiary LHY  Network switch and OCK 2 clock I would say the Jays is a safe bet.   Those two products are built like a tank.  Fully CNC billet case.   Really high quality connectors.  Definitely changed my mind abo... 
Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC
Don, I had a Mutec MC3+USB reclocker / master clock that I bought for my Aurender's USB out.   That device can accept and distribute 10m and word clock .   The Mutec 10m ref clock is $$$ so I thought for now I would try the LHY OCK-2  by Jay's Au... 
Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC
DAC , absolutely but I just added a Teac VRDS 701T and it is much better sounding as the OPPO 103 I was using.   No comparison.    The OPPO sounded small and closed in , the Teac sounds huge with tons of detail.    Not subtle.    
Aurender and native DSD output
Exactly  
Aurender and native DSD output
It is probably doing DoP which can handle dsd64 over spdif .   So it is basically converting dsd to pcm  
SACD Players
Great machine.  Enjoy.   The MCT connection is the way to go if you listen to SACD   
CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?
I just picked up the Teac VRDS 701t Transport.   Great machine.    
Compare preamp of Eversolo a8 vs McIntosh c43
I ask because Eversolo is having issues with Macs and the A6/8 recognizing USB and wondering if yours works via USB and if so what ver FW is it? I agree, that system fully deserves a top notch streamer from Innuos , Aurender, etc.  
Compare preamp of Eversolo a8 vs McIntosh c43
I'm curious if the A8 works via USB into the Mac.   What type of digital connection are you using?   
Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new
I have spent considerable time with this amp and would be proud to own one. In no way is this amp going to be the bottleneck or limiting factor of any system that most would assemble. It’s a strong argument for not having to buy separates. It’s th... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I also just got a SW-6.   Really high quality.   Fit and finish of it and the OCK-2 makes them look and feel like a luxury product.   I'm impressed.   Using the SFP port and media converter to isolate it and run its Isolated LAN port to my Aurend... 
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
Excellent
