What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations
I had the same problem and there is only one proper solution, but like me it may require you to purchase new equipment (AVR and integrated amp) that have the required inputs. The AVR will need to be able to "pre-out" the front channels separately... 
Stacking subwoofers
Seems to me that one would be better served by spreading additional subs around your space, rather than making a stack. Adding more subs in the same spot does nothing to provide additional mitigation of any peaks and valleys in the rooms low frequ... 
Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
Sorry, but I don't know and don't care. People do what they want. Which is their right, as long it doesn't harm others.    
New Vandersteen Preamp L5-ACC - Axpona show report in Absolute Sound July/Aug issue

Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
@6dogvegan  I am glad you are enjoying your Eversolo, but whether I am right or wrong, I am not interested in buying one of their products. Good luck in your search for an A8.

@6dogvegan  " This is the Music Streamer that YOU WANT! The DMP-A8 by Eversolo" No thanks. Don't need all the bells and whistles. If they are so good, why are so many people selling them?    
Great song by the Clash
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers first national tour, June 15, 1978 Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, Canada. The third encore was "I Fought The Law". Gone, but certainly not forgotten.

Haven't tried the Pontus yet. I have been dealing with a bout of sciatica, so I really can't move things around. The funny thing is I can still play golf, but putting socks on is excruciating.  
Need some treble
Seems to me that, if you're not hearing high frequencies, boosting them via tone controls may do nothing. Much like having a null in your listening room.  My question would be. Do those cymbals reappear when you crank it up a few notches?

@som Yes the price for the Aries S1 with LPS is $2,998.00 USD. This is $4,096.00 CDN + tax and shipping. Even without the LPS it is $2,700.00 CDN + tax and shipping. That is still too much.  I really think whatever I buy will be used. That way...

No offence, but this discussion is about my search for a USB DAC, not about doing electrical modifications to my condo. Let's try and keep on topic.  
Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT
There are voltage conversion systems available that will convert 110V to 220v but they require your plugging into two separate outlets that are out of phase to each other. This could be very awkward because the required out of phase outlet might ...

@kevn  I own a condo with a concrete floor, a concrete ceiling and a concrete wall between the electrical panel and all the relevant outlet. Even if I wanted to, I am not sure it would be practical or allowed. I think I will stay on topic with t...
