Apple Airport Express to DAC
Any DAC that can support a 16 bit 48khz digital stream will work with the AE.  
Is this MQA news a big deal?
MQA is as controversial as religion at this point. I like it having it, but would stop short of calling it must have. At the very least there are stories like this to its credit;http://https//www.stereophile.com/content/recording-april-2018-fairyt... 
Which is better - Hi end CD transport or Music server into DAC?
Arguements that a high end disk spinning transport will offer sonic improvements over a well implemented server based system are few and far between these days for good reason.  
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
Dynaudio Xeo 4 on a pair of decent stands.  
Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208?

Mcintosh MC7100 opinion
Reselling a 7100 would be an easy task if it didn’t work out, but I tend to agree with others that there must be something else going on here.  
Amp recommendation for KEF LS50
If you are interested in maximizing performance you may want to consider selling your ls50s and getting into a pair of ls50 wireless. Darko did a test and had to go way up market when pairing electronics with the passive ls50 to get them to outper... 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.
Have you changed anything in your room? Added a coffee table, moved speakers, etc? Have you changed where you sit?  
Pre amp with Dac
The Mytek is a great suggestion.
