Did you pick any? Im looking for bookshelf speakers to be placed against the wall as well. You could try the ELAC OW4.2 - the tweeter sounds great though they definitely need a sub. I sent them back because of this. Currently breaking in a pair of... 
DAC measurements explained?
Thanks guys!Any info on how these things are measured?  The actual process involved?Thanks! 
Which to choose: Schiit Modi Multibit, Arcam irDAC or Theta DS Pro Prime?
@jsbach1685 did you ever make a selection?I had the irDAC for a few weeks and it was nothing special to my ears. Also didn’t hold a lock with the airport express I use so I sold it off pretty quickly. Currently looking to purchase a used Modi Mult...

Does outlaw pay for these posts? 
Recommendation for DAC needed.
You could sell your transport and use the extra cash to upgrade to a Marantz SA-KI Ruby.  Incredible DAC, fantastic transport. Absolutely wonderful. 
Integrated amplifier search
Let’s us know how the micromega is?I was going to +1 for Bel Canto. They have a very slick 100w integrated with DAC and phono.  Also Rega Brio + Rega DAC would be 2 boxes but still half the size of the Parasoundcheers!

@aberyclark one common theme from peoples experiences with these cables is that they sound good right away, and then they seem to sound better later on. The later on part may be our imaginations, or our brains getting used to their particular sign... 
Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby
@elizabeth do you play with the dither and noise shaping selections?  How do these effect the sound? 
Integrated w/phono but no DAC
To follow up here - still really enjoying the Yamaha A-S801 amp for CD and Digital playing.  Super clean and clear and detailed even at fairly quiet volumes. The DAC sounds good (optical) though i don't use it really.  The remote works really well... 
Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby
Hi all - So I think to answer my original question, one large difference is that the sound on the Ruby is much less tweak-able.  There is only the ability to choose between 2 digital filters - you cannot adjust the dither or the noise shaping like...
