DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ??
Buy a Topping D10s. It can intake USB and output Toslink or Coax. That way you can add a USB input to your Bel Canto for under $100. Problem solved.   
Streamer - New Gustard X30
Well it is not out yet so there won’t be any reviews. But based on the spec and how well I like my Gustard X26 Pro I’m will to bet it sounds very good. I’m most impressed by the inclusion of an oven controlled clock.   
Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
For $10k, find a pre-owned pair of Dynaudio Confidence 20’s.

Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
Bryston 3B (200w) or 4B (400w) of what ever generation falls into your price bracket.  Probably a 4Bsst is all you will ever need for power and will last forever.

I’d be all over that preowned Jay’s Audio unit if I were in need.

Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!

Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
Buy the seller, not the equipment. Meaning if you don’t have trust in the seller, don’t do the transaction.

Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs
Scales are LEAST accurate at the extreme ends of their range. In this case 5g and 0grams. You are better off using a piece of vinyl coming in about 2,5grams. Also unless you are using a Mettler scientific laboratory scale in a temperature controll... 
Integrated amp recommendation
