Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
Not sure how many hundreds you're willing to give, but I second the vote for a Cronus Magnum by Rogue Audio.

YES!  I thought it was a glitch with my system. Good to know I'm not the only one seeing it.

Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks
As a general fan of the BluOS platform, I'd lean toward the NAD M66 (assuming streaming will be a routine).  But I also say proceed with caution and do a lot of research before hand. NAD failed spectacularly with the initial release of the C658 s...

Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable
I prefer an ethernet connection. I use powerline ethernet adapters to negate the need for long ethernet cable runs.  Works flawlessly.  
Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ?
I recently watched the 1961 film "Paris Blues" with Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier.  Fantastic jazz soundtrack! 
BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
I have a Node 2 as well as an NAD C658. I can detect no difference in SQ when using WiFi vs Ethernet.   Like  sfgak1 I use ethernet via powerline adapters. A very simple solution vs running ethernet cables over extended distances.  
Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out?
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum integrated amps have a variable output that can be used for subwoofers. That's what I use and it's fantastic!
