First Watt Sit-3 paired with Klipsch Cornwall lV?
I did some deep research on this for match with modded Klipshcorns, ultimately I decided to listen to reviewers claiming none of FW could provide textures of tubes on Klipsch Heritage, YMMV.  
Battery to Power Your System?
I've been expecting this, knew someone would provide audiophile inverter at some point. I used portable lipo power pack with previous dac and a couple linear power supplies, ultimately, found lit somewhat veiling and lacking a bit in dynamics, ass... 
Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout
Your setup similar to me, I also have Coincident Statement MKII and custom build 300B monoblocks, extreme modded Klipschorn. My ss pretty much like yours, most recordings  balance of sound just behind front baffle of speaker. But this sounds extre... 
A different world
And so we have thirty three albums analyzed. Were these cherry picked? Does this guy have an agenda? Will one's system expose these varying levels of compression?   Thirty three releases out of the tens of thousands releases, still anecdotal evi... 
China built tube amps
Chinese audio products improving by leaps and bounds, some reaching into reference level quality.   And rather interesting, I'm seeing parts sourced from all over the world in some of their equipment. Nearly every single audio component is world... 
A different world
So, we have one example of alleged compression, so of course everything compressed on steams, brilliant inductive reasoning.   I had similar path to streaming excellence, only cd rips superior to playing cd's on transport, over time and with con... 
Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii
@thiefoflight Thanks for the feedback, very  applicable to my intended upgrades.  
It’s all a matter of degree
The tweak is final ingredient added to recipe, just a pinch of whatever spice.  
Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs
Have to agree on the Tom Rush, Urge for Going, still listen to that one periodically. The Pogues, Lorelei.  
Primaluna?
Mozartfan always coming to these overarching conclusions. We're not even talking about DHT here, pretty soon this thread will be argument about who knows what?   By the way, that Opera review not too complimentary, but someone claims its far sup... 
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
Why wouldn't you want to hear each speaker to full potential in your room? Absolutely, move to preferred location for each speaker. Per above, dispersion patterns different for different speakers.  
Primaluna?
Anyone calling PL mediocre and worse simply doesn't know what they're talking about. I've owned Audio Research, Cary, Coincident, Art Audio, custom built, Bob Latino Dynaco, Wright Sound, Joule Electra. PL build quality just fine, and so is sq.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
By the way, I previously ran that Core Audio Tech, internal and external LPS until it fried. Went with Uptone package after, also considered Mojo Audio package.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
This is what I've been saying, you have to replace external and internal power supplies as a package. Now I don't know if Teradak internal filter will work with Uptone JS-2 or any other external lps.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I've made presumption JS 2 won't work with stock internal SMPS, and even if any LPS would work with it, what's the point since Its SMPS.
