Marantz UD5007, no more YouTube
That's awesome.  I'm glad it worked well.

Generally, galvanic isolation is used for devices such as laptops.  Their power supplies, when plugged into A/C, are not good and can cause major hum/buzz from 60hz a/c.  This is where galvanic isolators are valuable.  If you don't have this probl...

Amazon has an excellent "no questions asked" return policy, so if you feel the FireTV is not up to the job, it's guaranteed money back. 
Marantz UD5007, no more YouTube
Some thoughts to keep in mind....I have both an older Sony BDP-S590 bluray and also an Amazon FireTV. I don’t know the current Sony app offering, but the YouTube app on my particular Sony is not that good. It really only give you standard definiti... 
Classe SSP 800's DAC vs Oppo 105's DAC
Your 40 x 60 room is really large and doesn't have many bass cancellation problems, except for right dab in the middle.  http://amroc.andymel.eu/?l=60&w=40&h=8&ft=true&r60=0.6 Based on this, there is a lot of low frequency room nod...

The UD5007 is a discontinued item.  Unfortunately, Marantz has no control over how or when Youtube/Hulu/etc. change their streaming protocols.  It's not in any company's best interest to continue to redevelop firmware on discontinued products to k... 
going from ps audio power plant premiere to ps audio p5
You might be better off researching the PS Audio forums:http://www.psaudio.com/forum/ Much more content related directly to P5 and Power Plant.

Google for "usb galvanic isolation".  I suspect this usb disruptor is just another variation of these galvanic isolation modules.  Nothing new. 
Integrated amp recommendation for B&W 805 D3 (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel, Schiit?)
I have B&W 805 D2 speakers.  Generally, you want high current large power supply amplifiers for this speaker.  In your choices, I would go Parasound Halo Integrated because it has the largest transformer and power supply.I would look at the au... 
PS Audio Sprout - NAD or Parasound for desktop?
Out of curiosity, what was painful about NAD Master?  I have only heard that NAD is warm, but I have not head it personally. 
Advice please!!!!
I would say that it's generally extremely difficult to sell an entire system like that.  You are betting on the buyer wanting every single piece of equipment that is included in your bundle.  It's much easier to sell them individually as audio peo... 
Emotiva xpa 1 monos
As I have said before, Emotiva gen 1/2 are very competitive amps for the money. They can be somewhat bright stock (hence some opinions above that a tube preamp mates better). This can be resolved by fuse upgrade - Isoclean if you want to lean towa...

Oh, make sure you get the "BRZ" version of the AD797 because it has better sound quality and measurements than the "ARZ" version. 
W4S STP-SE DIY mods
Another thing I would mention here is that I am making a big assumption that those green Nichicon Muse bipolar are being used for DC blocking signal caps (why else would you use a bipolar?). If he is actually using these for power supply filters, ... 
W4S STP-SE DIY mods
Well, technically, it is best for each single channel op amp to have its own capacitor. However, that is just not practical (AD797 adaptor has the second opamp underneath, and Sparkos have 2 levels of boards). I just put a 47uf + 0.1uf MKP on each...
