Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer?

Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals
I hope your purchase meets your expectations and you are pleased with the pairing.  I'm interested in your thoughts after the amp is run in.  Good luck and cheers!  
Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks!
Not sure about tinkering inside the amp, but many people will put isolation footers under the bottom of the amp.  Might make sense to start there?  
Looking for a more up-to-date streamer
@jallan is barking up the right tree.  It sounds to me that you prefer a more "tuby" rather than detailed presentation so Aurender would be a good choice.  I just upgraded my streamer and auditioned quite a number of units and the Aurender is more... 
cable recommendation please from router to wall?
I would suggest looking into fiber internet delivery and get rid of the copper all together.  Many providers are offering this at no cost to customers for the changeover.    
Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting.

Is Qobuz Customer Service an Oxymoron?
Sorry to hear about your problem and I have no solution.  Their music available and SQ are excellent but everything else, the support, the "community" gets a D-  
Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement
I think you're going to like option #2.  Having an open area behind the listening position can be very constructive.  No unwanted reflections.  Good luck and let us know how it works out.    
Satellite radio tuners
You didn't give any details about your two channel system but if it will take an airplay stream that is your best bet.  Sirius bandwidth is < than what airplay will process so you won't lose quality from your iPad.   
Acoustics experts - a little help please
It really depends on what is going on in your room.  If your speakers tend to run "hot" up top you may need absorption on the ceiling. If the speakers run dull or even warm, diffusion may get you there.   
Need advice with matching amp with speakers
Hard to make a recommendation since you didn't share anything about the listening room or what sound qualities you prefer.  What type of music do you play? I'm sure you will get some thoughtful responses if the members have the information they ne... 
Need help with Aurender N20
I went with the Network Acoustics Muon Pro Streaming System.  So far I like what I'm hearing from it.
