Is there an rca input selector box audio only 2ch in 1 out?
The Schiit SYS ($49) is one. It is passive but also has a potentiometer. I have one from Decware with 4-in and 2-out which is very nice but much more expensive. 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Not the prettiest in the room but another + for Decware.  
Why do I need Roon?
For $500 you will gain a "lifetime" subscription to extraordinary metadata and an integrated library consisting of your own music and Tidal/Qobuz. I use Google and manage my own library and services.  
MAC to DAC connectivity
@stuartbmw3 .. looks good. Please let us know how you like the DAC and cable arrangement. Best. 
MAC to DAC connectivity
is there value in having a BNC connector on one end to the cable (dac end) and an RCA on the other?  Or is it only of value if both ends have the BNC?I had Blue Jeans Cable make me one and found no difference in sound quality to the standard BJC R...

Sorry, what is MAC?I believe he speaking of his Apple computer. 
MAC to DAC connectivity
Congrats on the new purchase. The Orchid has been getting some very positive chatter lately. For the distance you've specified I think a USB-SPDIF converter is the way to go. As an aside, I have MHDT's Pagoda and to my ears the BNC connection prov... 
Mac Mini as a music server
Do you think it stems from Apple's penchant for not providing ancillary vendors pre-knowledge of impending changes/updates & the subsequent lag as the ancillary vendor "catches up" to make their program compatible?Yes, absolutely. Over the yea... 
Budget Music Streamer
@mahler123 .. surprised to read of Bluesound's customer service decline. That's really a shame. I've had the Node 2 for almost 3 years and it's worked without issue for all that time. (I have 2 Pulse Flex units as well.) That being said, I recentl...

Take a look at the Bluesound Node 2i streamer. It should prove to be a good option for you and scales nicely when you add a better DAC to the mix. As to your DAC, I think you're on the right track, IIRC the DAC1 was known to be somewhat bright and... 
MHDT or Border Patrol
Lavorgna's latest review (Twittering Machines) on the Border Patrol DAC SE:https://twitteringmachines.com/review-border-patrol-dac-se/ Pretty high praise I'd say.

Nice find @kalali . Curious to know if you’re any closer to a decision. 
Using optical filter for ethernet
Sonore is in pre-production of their upcoming opticalRendu which takes this concept even further. Chris Connaker posted a short video on YouTube about it yesterday:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Axt063dXC8&t=0s  
Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC
Build a mesh network. Use one of the mesh routers, close to your PS Audio DAC for ethernet.+1 
Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers
After years using a Mac mini (Amarra/Audirvana/HQPlayer) and/or Bluesound Node 2 I moved to a Sonore microRendu. I'm using Asset UPnP and mconnect. The increase in fidelity is significant .. jaw-dropping in fact. I have no experience with higher-e...
