My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
With the room layout and speaker placement limitations, I'd focus on bookshelves placed on your cabinet (on some sort of 2-8 inch stand like Iso Acoustics) and add a small subwoofer.Bookshelves would have at least a tiny bit of room off the back... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
That makes sense, @grannyring .  I bought my single-ended v3 used a little over a year ago for $3100.   I should have checked today's used prices.I haven't heard a lot of dacs, but I think a $2600 v3 would be one of the best values out there. 
What would you Buy? Adding to ELAC Navis & DSpeaker
I'd recommend first getting a Bluesound Node2i and use it as a dac/streamer.  Figure out if you like the app, it's streaming services, etc.  It's kind of the standard streamer for under $1000.  Many people are using the 2i with high-end dacs and a... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
@sabrejet - Ben at Mojo offered a very fair trade-in of my V3 as a credit towards the EVO. On the Mojo website, you can see that single-ended V3’s have dropped in price to $3500. That’s around the used market price - maybe a little higher.The upgr...

Which good discrete R2R multibit DAC & why NOS ?
US-based Mojo Audio makes R2R NOS dacs.  Their Mystique V3 has won a few awards.  It uses the 20-bit, AD1862 R2R chips.  They have dacs from $2500-7500.I thought I had read somewhere that the Reimyo DAP 777 used PCM63's, but now can't find anythin...

OK, Streamers: "Head" units only...?
@crn3371 , I couldn't find much on the Mind2 either.  Member fpeel has 2 of them, and gave a good review vs Blousound node here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bluesound-node-2/post?postid=1716588#1716588Another option is the Metrum Ambre R...

I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300
Thanks for the update.  In my 2nd system, I have a Nuprime IDA-8 integrated, but I've had thoughts on replacing it with the Stellar combo. 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
What are the dimensions of the emat and emat+?  The website doesn't provide product dimensions.  (or, I couldn't find them...)And, do the emats resemble the product pictures on their website?
