Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META
Music source into the receivers is what?  Room size?  Preferred music?

@lowrider57 I found a workaround for the disappearing que problem.  Let's say that you have 10 songs in your current que.  If you search an album and just hit the album it will delete your que and replace it with the album you selected, The worka... 
Modern Covers of Classics
This is a fun one: Zonkey is a studio album by progressive rock band Umphrey's McGee. The album was released on November 11, 2016. It consists of mashups, combining various covers crossing different musical genres. "National Loser Anthem" ("Th...

I did the update and have not yet had any issues.  I do have an issue from the last update in that the "Go to album" feature doesn't work when you are either in the que or on the now playing screen.  I did the last update to hopefully fix this bug...

Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation
If you have room adding a sub would really help.  Maybe keep this in mind with your speaker budget .  
Vibration dampening
I have a floating wood floor that was not working well with my subs.  The subs were boomy and shaking the room.  I installed Iso Acoustic feet on the subs and the problem was solved.  I'm now very satisfied and you can't "hear" the subs in the sys... 
Small Discrepancies in Speaker Placement
When I got my latest pair of speakers I was constantly moving them for about 6 months in very small increments.  At one point I found that magic spot and it was after repositioning them only about an inch!  Keep in mind that rooms are not really a... 
Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?
The sliders will work but you will have to get the discs under the spikes before setting them on the sliders which is a PITA.   Alternative idea to move them only once for placement purposes:  get a piece of Masonite that is a few inches larger ... 
Solo streamer
I agree with those who are recommending an upgrade of the DAC.  This will surely be your best bang for the buck.  I did a DAC upgrade it it's really like getting a whole new system.  That dramatic in my rig.  Good luck and cheers.    
Small footprint subwoofer
A couple of thoughts on this since small rooms are tough with subs.   Most importantly, sub placement in a small room is critical.  Be careful about putting a sub(s) too close to a corner.  Two subs will be better to cancel out the nodes.   Th... 
Interconnects priority
I agree with the source first calls.  
Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2
It would be helpful to know about the components in the rest of your system for a proper recommendation.    
Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos.
OP - The Node has a trigger out that I use to wake up my Crown amp so you're good to go.   If it's within budget, I would use a regular, non powered, Node in front of a new integrated amp (best option) or use the preamp out of the node into a se... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
That's horrible, hope you get satisfaction.  Good luck!
