Handyman - one thing you might want to consider for your room is an acoustically damped ceiling.Options can include...- a simple drop ceiling with acoustic tiles - there are many options for this and you do not need a great deal of height to imple... 
DAC connection preferred?
I agree with Onhwy61 - for instance...I bought a Bifrost DAC with the USB port to stream from my iMac.In order to mitigate the obvious USB related issues, I tried a couple of USB cables and settled on a double cable that is joined at the DAC- one ...

Proper Room Designs/Dimensions for Best Acoutics
Handy - don't let yourself get hung-up on 90 degree corners - they are easily remedied - you can probably make a very effective bass trap with sonotube and soft coverings, like carpet- a solution I currently employ was to build two panels almost f...
