need more power
You want to keep surround.  Get a better or ribbon center channel speaker where the dialogue is and turn it up on your avr settings.  Cut the subs volume for the wife. If that isn't good enough you'll be forced to watch in stereo with a Terk VR1 o... 
Music storage for best possible playback
After doing it your way for years and then moving to a Synology server over WiFi I arrived at the best SQ for me.Put the files on portable SSD’s and play over streamers. Lose the computer. At that point Spotify was lacking and I moved to Qobuz.It'...

Am I Splitting Hairs With My Connections?
I won't hear it because I'm not there.If you try it and hear a difference there is that. Or not.I will say that monster power and most receivers lack enough resolution for anyone to hear any "real" difference.Most of the time labels are merely sug... 
Decent tuner with a headphone output and volume control
I guess crap is in the ear of the beholder.I listened to FM "crap" for too many years on tube and scope tuners and I appreciate ditching the unreliable motorized antennas. But if that's what you want you'lll a $55 tube headphone amp. Audiophile Ja...

Decent tuner with a headphone output and volume control
I have a streamer with volume knob and headphone jack. I seriously know of no reason to "Tune In."If you do, I think you're stuck with an avr or a crappy used 80's receiver.A 128 stream on a laptop will sound better than most of those tuning secti... 
Digital Linear Power Supply
This SGC LPS will do the job. You can get an equivalent with a Talema transformer direct from China for half $ but it will take a couple months.https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/products/12v-linear-power-supply-50w-sonictransporter-i5-roon-nuc...... 
Splitting HDMI?
You’ll get better SQ with a cheap preamp DAC. I DO NOT recommend FOSI because they are bad news but you could try this if you dare:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDQQY95/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U.tyFb5W23DPDFor $50 you'll get Volume, Tone and a headpho...
