Looking for a streamer/DAC
The Auralic Altair G1 does what you want and is said to be optimized for connection to your network via wifi. There are setup options that allow you to disable the volume control, preserving that tubey goodness.  
Most annoying song, period.
Free Bird - Lynyrd SkynrdAs a retired musician, someone at every southern outpost was guaranteed to scream this ‘request’ at least a dozen times a night. Whenever I hear that opening slide, I feel like I’m getting a kidney stone.

Most overlooked LPs in the last 20 years
Stellar idea! Post a thread with a seemingly conflicting title and content, wait for someone to respond and then attack them!Maybe a valium would help? 
BAT VK-300K SE vs. Ayre AX-7e integrateds

Any song off of any album. How's that for decisive?OK, if I had to pick just one tune, it would be Kid Charlemagne. 
if you're reading this then you already know...
Prpixel,Exactimundo. Apply the same principle to any ads that don't have photos, and it becomes pretty easy to navigate through the 'New Today' section. 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
This isn't about science or faith. It's about the gray area of plausibility.If the latest tweak/craze involved wrapping up some dog s**t in aluminum foil and depositing it on top of your CD player, would you do it? I'd bet not, because it would cr...

All hail judge Punkuk. Long may he reign as prime determinant of verisimilitude! 
There has been an incident and I need advice
Seeing that you've already acquired an Adcom amplifier, the Adcom GFP750 would seem to be a logical mate. I'm not sure how it compares to the Nikko, but it is very well worth the $6-700 you'll spend. 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Nope. Next question...
