New Amp Advice
Well, you’ve certainly got some great candidates, but as you well know at this level they’re all very good and it comes down to that magical thing called personal preference.  If it’s me I’d go listen to the ones within an hour, and if there’s one... 
Axiom to remember
And how good the recording is.   
It's time to get paid Re my post from 12-27
No payment necessary — we’re all here to help each other.  Just glad you got it sorted and can enjoy listening again!  
Value Power Cords- LessLoss or Triode Wire Labs?
@robshaw  At your price range I’d do a free trial of these — high quality copper and cryo treated and high value for the price IMHO. Best of luck. https://iceageaudio.com/ice-age-audio-store/ols/products/ofc-power-cable/v/OFC-PWR-CBL-6FT-LNG Her... 
Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR..
My Acoustic Zen Satori cables exhibit the sound characteristics you’re looking for, and their jumpers are $300 new and should be more than fine for your speakers. What speaker cables are you currently using? https://www.thecableco.com/satori-jump... 
Innuos Pulse versus Zenith Mk3
I’d call Innuos as they know better than anyone here.  They have great customer support so wouldn’t be surprised if you get a thorough answer to your question.   
Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables?
I’d give a call to Ice Age Audio and Pine Tree Audio and see what they recommend for your needs.  Both have a reputation for giving helpful advice and are a big step up from the cheap stuff but still well within your budget, and I believe both off... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
The Coda #8 is more than twice the price of the F10 but since I'm in no rush to get new speakers I think the Sanders amp I recommended was largely designed/built by Coda.   
Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)
Innuos streamers sound great, have the best app, and offer great customer service. Here’s a used Zen at a good price, or you could get a new Pulse Mini and add an LPS from SBooster, Teddy Pardo, or LHY for about the same price. https://www.usaudi... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I’d make sure they have a US repair facility before even considering this amp.  I’d strongly consider this Sanders Magtech amp that is highly regarded and made to drive planar speakers.  It’s older and been on the market for a while so I’d offer a... 
RCA Interconnect recommendations
Here’s a pair of Acoustic Zen Matrix II interconnects for $300 that cost $920 new, and they should strike a nice balance as they’re very natural sounding and neither bright nor veiled. If they don’t work out for some reason you could easily sell t... 
XLR cable placement
I’ve found putting my best/most resolving interconnect between my DAC and pre to be by far the best way to go, but YMMV so try both ways.

What’s your budget?  
Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro
So would a dedicated streamer enable me to use the phone as a remote? I would like to be able to have a remote. Yes.  A dedicated streamer like the one I mentioned above solves all your problems and then some.   
Black Ice F159 or Gold Note PH-10 ?
What’s your price range?
