Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...
Return it while you can.   Support from Eversolo is abysmal....  worst I have ever experienced in this hobby in 40 years.    
Chasing distortion
Get it serviced.  Probably has a blown resistor in the auto bias circuit.  Will just kill more tubes.  
Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge
One of the few things I never have and never will buy used.  
Small footprint subwoofer
I like using the REL cable.   They recommend it and it works with most amps. If your Amp is fully balanced at the output , which i think it is , then I believe you do not want to connect the Black ground wire.  Only the Red and Yellow.  Float the ... 
Solo streamer
As always, solid advice from Blisshifi.....   I really didn't NEED to upgrade my  Vault 2i , but I am glad I own the N200.   I stream a lot,  so to me it was a worthwhile purchase that made streaming even better.     
Small footprint subwoofer
I like REL also.   T series are really good subs for the money.  I have a 15 plus year old r305 that has been thumping along every day....

I have a N200.   It's a great unit.   I am using it with the excellent sounding Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference .   I chose that DAC over several that were up to $2k more because I love the way it sounds.   Plus, if I ever upgrade that DAC the N200 will no... 
Decware ZTPRE
While they can't keep a handle on build times I think they have always been good with repairs.   Probably worth repairing

Why not use the Cambridge with a stand alone DAC?   If you like the Cambridge user interface and are looking to improve sound quality , that's where I would start.      
Bluesound Node Question
If your tablet or phone can cast to your TV that may work.   
ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection
No, running mains full range and driving sub via speakon cn.   I have a Velodyne SMS 1 that I used to use with the REL but I took it out and went speaker level off the same binding posts as speakers.   I ran that RCA and single cable out of that t... 
DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600
I agree, maybe the DAC 2 card is the way to go.   My Dad has a Mc MA8950 and it sounds great with his streamer and the Amp's DAC 2 card .     I am a big fan of separates but if the built in DAC is well implemented it can sound really good.   I h... 
Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway
Personally I would run those full range and just dial the sub in with a low crossover. Or use a DSP based low pass for the sub or something like the JL Audio crossover just for low pass,  Those are big speakers you'll be missing a lot of what they... 
Best and Worst customer service?
Eversolo /Zidoo.   My Dad's A6 streamers USB quit working after their latest firmware.   Denied there were any problems...   but at the same time others are having issues with USB.    I asked them for the last firmware, they said no that's danger... 
LAIV Harmony
I am surprised it has no volume control,  I thought that gold knob on the corner was it's volume .   I actually prefer a DAC have a fixed output with nothing in the way like cheap potentiometer or digital volume that truncates bits.
