Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen
Cool. Then, I'd recommend getting the speakers before the new amp. Let the speakers brake in and fully get to know them before striking out to get the amp. Then you can get an amp which complements the speakers... and enjoy the new speakers for a ... 
Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue
OP, Congratulations. How much did its looks influence you. A very unique looking amp.   
Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert!
No I have not experienced the Lincoln Center. Although I have been to various great halls in various places. I grew up in Chicago... although the Chicago symphony hall is not one of them... unfortunately, that one is a let down.

@corelli +1 Sad, but often true.  
Distortion from Audio Rack ??
There are a couple approaches to racks. One is a sturdy rack with individual dampening solution for each components on it, or a fully dampened rack. I have typically taken the former route. You are in a good position to do that as well. You can n... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers

@jasonbourne71  Ive given a few of those as presents for a few of my over 70 friends... that all laugh and forget to take them.   
Streamer Options Needed
@arstereo  Good budget piece. I have one, I use for burning in equipment. You get what you pay for if matching the rest of your equipment. I have an Aurrender N100 with my Ayre QB-9 DAC for my headphone system... much better than my Node and a Au... 
Single way or multiway
@limomangus  Isn't there some saying about to cobblers children go barefoot?  Clearly he could tell and didn't care.   
Cable Quandary
My systems have been dead center from the start. Once, for a while, I had a weak tube in one side of my preamp which moved the central image a couple feet to the left. Never  has a cable... even when I had dissimilar lengths long ago did the centr...
