Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Silly you. Not spending more -  the dollar has been devalued.  
Tidal or Qobuz
Whichever one did not buy into the MQA fraud. Theranos anyone?  
Streamer question
If you think that BluuOS is a great app keep it. You will be restricted to NAD (Lenbeook) Not much of an upgrade path.  Or put on your BB pants and move on. You’ll find it’s usually better to have a dedicated app for a given player. Pro-Jest S2 U... 
Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system
Trying? I have the TV audio also go into my HiFi preamp through a stereo DAC but I don’t use it much because the stereo sound is good enough through the planars. Better to go 5.1 with 2 ESLs and 3 ribbons. Much of the video I watch is 5.1+ which... 
Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system
I have a completely seperate 5.1 system coaxial with my 2.1 hifi system. I share the sub array through a manual switch. Most TV I just listen to via Monsoon Planar 9s plugged directly into the TV.  
Newbie help with headphone gift choice.
The Sony's are comfortable, durable (only pad flaking in 30 years) and easy to drive. The negative is static electricity causes "ear shocks.". Not recommended for dry environments. Can be mitigated with anti static spray. I replaced them with Fo... 
Does Qobuz work
Sounds like Tidal Connect. Qobuz has had longer to work on it than it took Tidal to implement a Connect feature ala Spotify. Maybe they are not up to it. Maybe like Spotify rumors to go flac or better. BluOS does not seem particularly "easy" to ... 
SACD is VERY confusing
What is PMC?  Yeah, ripping anything makes it much easier to play back whole.    
Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs
+1 ricred1 Yessir. Some DACs "open" horizons (PRAT) comparitively. Typically the end listener is the only one that can decide what is "best" for them.  Bingo.  
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
Buy a modern solid state amp with protection. I share 1 pair of speakers with 2 amps. I always forget to switch until no skun emerges. I’ve never hurt nothin’. What you are attempting sounds hazardous to your HiFi budget.  
Help with streamer software
If BubbleUPnP works it is a fine free program. It is for control only, all music goes directly through the streamer from the Web. Aurrender all functions? Wrong, no Roon. I figured they built it for Roon because Paul was such a fan years ago. An... 
The Beatles 'Love' album by George Martin
It was made for the Vegas show. A "must see.’ The week of, we got singles across the aisle, first row balcony - a sweet spot. I enjoyed the surround tracks in the headrests. When I play it at home I flash back.  
Ultrasonic cleaning
10 drops of Tergikleen per gallon of distilled water.  Dry with a table fan.  
Help with streamer software
What did PS Audio recommend. They are usually quite helpful and iOS friendly. The best app I use for appending radio is Volumio that lets you add any Webradio url by allowing you to directly enter any IP like: http://69.207.160.42:8000/index.htm... 
BlueSound not ripping small label/Euro CDs-any ideas
I am sure there must be a way to get tracks onto the internal drive, probably via the network but you'll have to find it through research or trial and error. I can't solve it for you without your hardware.
