If a tree falls in the forest, does an expensive speaker cable still sound the same or even worse than a coat hanger? Yes. Yes it does.  
what dacs are fast, lively, energetic?
Insinuating that anyone here would be able to clearly discern if a DAC is fast, lively, or energetic compared to another one is both hilarious and sad to me.

Bose buys McIntosh
They make quality equipment but it's still massively overpriced. Marketing machine is strong.  
Sub suggestions please
HSU VTF-TN1. End game for your needs.   
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
