Wadia 171 iTransport & Speakers
Thanks for all of your advice. I am comparing the sound of the Wadia to a CD player, both running through the Bryston DAC. The music is either ripped from original CD or downloaded, both using Apple lossless.I will remove the TV as Audioconnection...

I use the NAD M3 with the Polk Lsi15s with complete satisfaction. Prior to that I used the same speakers with the NAD C372 with complete satisfaction.I'm my opinion your best option is the NAD C375, which is the upgrade to the C372. Save your mone... 
Accurate speakers for a verity of genres?
No doubt that Polk Lsi 15's will handle all your demands. I too listen to all music and the Polks do everything you demand to a high degree in my opinion.

I'll leave it plugged in the wall about a couple weeks to acclimate to the sound before trying and comparing the sound plugged into the PS Audio.

This answer was received from Pass Labs........The PS Audio re-generators seem to be fine, especially with the multi-wave setting options. Cannot say for a fact that the multi-wave is better, but it is different in a pleasant way. Long story short...

NAD M3 owners, your assistance is requested
I have never heard clicking when adjusting the volume. I've had the amp about 3 years 
Emerald Physics 2.3 or Magnepan
The 1.7s have played all types of music in my system with more than enough dynamic output. In my experience the bass is not lacking except in vary rare instances depending on the recording. I have never heard the EP 2.3.Good luck. 
How do you rip CDs on a new version mac mini?
Use Apple's external drive. 
Integrated Amp recommendation
Either the NAD M3 or C375 are a good match for your speakers. The C375 would be a big savings over the M3 and would probably be as much or more than you need with the speakers in your system. 
Speakers that are RAP music proof
My guess is that all Polk speakers will do what you want. Also, the Infinity Primus line of speakers. Theses will play loud enough and with great quality sound.
