Your most indispensable "tweak"?
@patd33 - essential!  
To Roon or not to Roon
If you use both tidal and qobuz, like I do, then roon is genius. No Spotify, though, which means you can't use it anymore, or at least I don't think so.  
Upgrade DAC recommendation
Check out reviews of holo audio may dac. I'm very happy with mine, but I'm not the only one.  
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
It just so happens that stereophile has recently highly recommended two r2r DACs, the denadrips terminator and the holo audio may. If you read herb reichert column a few months ago on the may dac, he acknowledged that stereophile had not done r2r ...

Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III
Klipsch Forte IIIs were my first high-end speaker and I played with low-wattage SET amps mostly.  They were so much fun and so revealing!  It seemed I could drive the Forte IIIs with the wattage generated by a lit match!  I noticed pretty quickly,...

@68pete what did these do for your system?@needfreestuff I finally dialed in my sub to a crossover and gain level that opened things up so much. Not an easy task.  
Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why?

Did any Amp help you understand lyrics better?
@terry9 When I heard obscure passages a little less obscurely, I did more of the same, and my system kept improving. So interesting to hear that process. What makes the most difference there?  
Omega 3xrs
Will hook them up in parallel to the speakers (directly from the speaker terminals on the speakers) into the speaker-level inputs on the sub.  Pass Labs xa30.8. 
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
Raspberry pi 4 with hifiberry digi pro streamer. $60 or so roon endpoint with optical and coax out. Cannot beat it for the price.
