Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale?
3chihuahuas, all the Roland guys and gals are lucky thats all he said. If the post would have been Krell (which I own) people would be crawling out of the woodwork to tell us how brite our amps sound. Heck, this mite even do it. I wish I had a dol... 
What DAC's have a USB input?
Sorry I can't give you a list, but yes there are some high end usb dacs. There has been a few threads which listed a few of them. If you do a search of past threads you should find a few names. Hope this helps 
What DAC's have a USB input?
All USB dac's have usb inputs, they are used as a way to take sound from your computer hard drive without use of the computers soundcard. A lot of computers have very poor soundcards so people use usb dacs. Is this what you were asking about? 
Dipole/bipole or direct radiating
If you have a big room and your speakers don't have to be right on top of you then I would use direct radiating speakers as they will work for movie and music surround. Dipoles are a poor choice for music surround unless you have to put your rears... 
A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression?
Yes, take all the cd's that you only like one or two songs on and put them on your hard drive as wave files. Then you won't have to keep jumping up to change them every time songs come on that you don't like (which is a lot if you only like one or... 
I am currently looking to buy a multi amp
I don't know what would be best for the money but I have a krell kav-500 in my system. They are great sounding amps for two channel as well as multichannel. 100 watts at 8 ohms and 200 watts at 4 ohms. I think all of those amps would be fine thoug...

VMPS RM40 better than Dunlavy IVa?
As Sean said, both speakers will give you deep bottom end but will sound very different. I have a set of hybrid/ribbon speakers, not vmps (Apogee) and the sound from ribbon mid-highs would sound very different than the Dunlavy's.

SS Pre amps Krell KRC-3 vs Classe 47.5 vs BAT VK
Your Krell ksa-150 would work very well with a passive. I have a Ksa-250 and have gone with passive in my system, the ksa-150 would be even better match than mine. It will not need warm up and will really bring your system to life. I would check o... 
How would audio program about stereo on Radio do
I used to listen to one at work, it was back in the late 70's. I can't remember what it was called though. It was on am radio, I think on one of the talk radio channels. 
Need opinions on all-in-one or separate dac.
Sacd playback is analog so the dac would be for redbook playback only if that matters to you. If you are going to keep the Sony for a long time (not much resale value compared to the price of mods) the I would go with the mods,you should be able t...
