Of course. Much more useful than the reverse, imho.

Impressive but wrong direction. AI can already give me the text summary of a video.

???? I've been using and reconfiguring Salamander Synergy racks for decades.

For movies. streaming or movie theaters. Since I started with laser discs, I've found that I have no interest, generally, in watching movies more than once. Added in edit: I do have about 200 BDs of opera and ballet but I consider them music with extra features.

None.

Really nice speakers. FWIW, here's my take: https://www.stereophile.com/content/estelon-aura-loudspeaker

Beta version on PC.

I have 3 subs, 2 KEF KC92 and 1 SVS SB-2000Pro, in a music-only system. They are equalized independently and integrated with the main speakers by DL-ART.

Flare Audio claims the shape of our ears "distorts sound by up to 20%, causing our brain to filter this distortion and resulting in a loss of detail between 2kHz and 8kHz." The shape of our external ear (pinna) also contributes to sound localization. I don't think we want to compromise that.

Looks pretty awful.

Yes.

You do not state which exaSound DAC you have but at least some of them permit per channel level adjustments.

With the Pre90, you can use all the outputs simultaneously. So, you can use it if you have reasonable level/etc. controls on the sub(s).
