I bought a well regarded reclocker and can't detect that it makes any difference whatsoever.  Thankfully, it was second hand and relatively inexpensive.

Phono Preamp upgrade
I'm not going to make any specific phono recommendations.  I'll pile on and encourage you to consider a better turntable/cartridge.  Your components need to be of similar quality.  Adding a better phono stage would no doubt help with sound qualit... 
a remarkably basic question about Roon
My interpretation of these results is that a quality dedicated streamer will be far superior to roon A dedicated streamer is just a stripped down computer in a different box.  Roon is like a remote control.  Its function is to control what gets...

@big_greg the only thing the OP needs is a new external DAC and a digital coax cable using the coax out on the 2i and you bypass the 2i DAC.  I went down that path with a pretty high end DAC. The NT-505 sounded better to me. By the time you spe... 
Upgrading your system three options DAC, Cartridge or speaker cables???
