Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?
The sliders will work but you will have to get the discs under the spikes before setting them on the sliders which is a PITA.   Alternative idea to move them only once for placement purposes:  get a piece of Masonite that is a few inches larger ... 
Solo streamer
I agree with those who are recommending an upgrade of the DAC.  This will surely be your best bang for the buck.  I did a DAC upgrade it it's really like getting a whole new system.  That dramatic in my rig.  Good luck and cheers.    
Small footprint subwoofer
A couple of thoughts on this since small rooms are tough with subs.   Most importantly, sub placement in a small room is critical.  Be careful about putting a sub(s) too close to a corner.  Two subs will be better to cancel out the nodes.   Th...

Bluesound
Any chance you can roll back the update?  Fingers crossed for you.

Sonus Faber Question
If your main listening position on the couch is too far back maybe get a side chair and just place it in the sweet spot for critical listening and put it back off to the side for proper WAF.  How about putting some casters on an Eames chair and ro... 
Sonus Faber Question
Unless the speakers are right against the walls, which isn't ideal, your listening position at 14' away is too far.  Measure how far apart the speakers are from tweeter to tweeter then multiply that by 128% and use that for a starting position for... 
Help, my system seem to have slowly gotten " bright"
