“My Qobuz” and favorites suddenly missing in Qobuz
I still don’t see where my “recently played” list is.  Looks like that just disappeared completely unless I’m just missing it being buried somewhere.  You know, you’d think a company making changes like this could at least send out an email saying... 
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
If you believe that hi end cables make a difference then it stands to reason that the mediocre sound produced by mediocre equipment will be transferred to you much more efficiently allowing you to experience the mediocre sound so much more thorou... 
LAIV Harmony
While I’m sure Hans heard what he heard, I am always a bit skeptical when one reviewer says something that hasn’t been mentioned by other very reputable reviewers and suspect there’s a negative system interaction of some sort at play there.  But, ...

Never mind.  Looks like everything was just reorganized so everything is under “Library” now.    
Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112
The midrange is what is important...your wife will be happy..forget the subs they will screw up the sound...too slow and they will draw attention to themselves....not disappear. That’s just silly advice from someone who’s never heard what good,... 
Compact powered remotes
Audio Engine is cost effective and easy to do a trial I believe.  Best of luck.   
Start with Upgrade to DAC?
I’d look at a LAiV Harmony DAC that offers a trial and an Innuos Pulse Mini with something like a Teddy Pardo LPS.  A little over your budget but well worth the stretch I’d think.  Best of luck.   
Amp for Persona B Speakers
What amp are you using now?  
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
Is a high-end digital cable in some cases able to make it a worthwhile investment in a setup which is not top hi-end? A good digital cable is critical and worth exploring and investing in, but how much to invest is very system/budget dependent.... 
Bluesound
Given Bluesound’s less than stellar track record with updates I’d give it a solid 6 weeks before doing it.  There’s no rush, so why risk the headache?  
Do high dollar mono blocks truly improve the Sound Quality over the mid tier amps
In your system I’d first look at a better streamer from Innuos, Aurender, Grimm, etc.  The Zenith is really good, but I think there’s a good bit more to potentially be had there.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.  
Solo streamer
The only downside to Aurender is that the dynamic range on some tracks is too good That’s an impressive high-quality problem to have.  Sounds like the N200 is giving you some “good trouble.”  
Modern Covers of Classics
Here are a couple very different versions of “Sound of Silence” — both interesting and compelling I think… https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4?si=Shwc_al5e_JyZLJm https://youtu.be/lyekSI_4Qlc?si=PL88OEBpD0GiMhOA And here’s a Polish female chorus doing ... 
Audio Cables: All the Same?
One of the primary ways people learn is from the shared experiences of others. To close one’s mind to such learning opportunities is, well, sad. Amen. The damage the naysayers do here is that they may stop or delay others from even trying diffe...

Mconnect is not available for my iPad. Are you sure?  I have an older iPad and have mconnect HD on it.
