Update -
I think I'm there or at least a lot closer to having the mini running Audirvana functionally and aesthetically integrated into the living room system.
The cabinet with most of the equipment out of sight. Only the non-remote controlled devices are exposed. Everything inside works behind remotely via IR repeater or wifi. The Sys switches sources, vinyl or Bifrost for the Lyr HP amp.

Yamaha AVR & BDP, cable DVR and a spare Sony TA N55 ES amp inside. The tube phono stage will be added when it's back from the hospital. There's an Emotiva XPS-1 stashed behind the left drawer which feeds the AVR and the Sys keeping the vinyl signal path to the headphone amps all analog.

Headphone and record paraphernalia drawer. Probably could use some dividers.

This was originally a drawer for a Dual CS-5000 which has since been bumped to TT #3 and is doing bedroom duty. Here we have the mini, its ps, a mini-display port/optical audio to HDMI adapter to an AVR input, Stax Earspeaker 230V adapter and a Musical Fidelity V90 AMP to feed the Stax. There's a Roku 4 stashed under this drawer. The V90s internal USB DAC is fed from one of the mini's dedicated USB ports. The other feeds the Bifrost DAC. Vinyl input for the V90 (Stax) is analog from the output of the Lyr which adds some tubiness.

And behind it all is a crap ton of cabling.

The AVR doesn't have preouts for the 5 channels so I'll probably upgrade it to one with pre-outs so I can run some better amplification for the mains. I have 2 lines of component video cable run thru the walls, attic, and mantle so I can put those amps up front with the sub, someday
Adirvana as now seen from my listening chair. Tomorrow I’ll update the Harmony One remote program so my wife can listen to the mini as well.
