Any experience with Mini DSP SHD Studio in 2 ch system?
Another streamer besides the built in (LAN)?    
Volume level of commercial CD's.
Sounds like a problem with your conversion program. I recommend xrecode. Your CDs have commercials?  
What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?
I enjoyed the Matrix2. It has PS Audio (the orig) configuration. Then it failed. Apos sent out a new one but I haven’t put it back online yet. I got it for a second i2s input which I have since filled.  It is downright holographic compared to a c... 
What the ship just happened?
Buying new would have prevented.  
Suggestions for a digital cable.
I think that DH Labs Silversonic AES/EBU is the sweet spot is balanced. An Audio Envy IC is the most open SPDIF coax that I've ever tried. DO NOT try removal by it's cable.  
Down sizing
Neutral is the signature of the Sanders. Formerly line stage only now with built in phono stage. I would say the Main Out on any preamp should be the same as Pre Out. No clue why you are moving speaker cables but I use a Solupeak P2 switchbox to ...

Streamer/DAC Atoll MS120 and Arcam ST60
Might or not. There a multitudes of DACless players. I would just make sure it's got an USB-A input so that there is no need to pay double for storage.  
Streamer/DAC Atoll MS120 and Arcam ST60
If you want "little more high end" obtain a DAC that you enjoy and buy only streamers that are sans DAC. I will be amazed if anyone here has compared the analog outputs.  
Sound quality of Roon
All five streamers I've acquired after BlueSound sound better. There is that. And their OSs make browsing and playing tracks easier than BluOS. No I never got a Lumin but reports say that their OS is clunky.

Much more efficient to move files direct than "across" the network. Use Unstoppable copier. So much better than UPnP that I sold my Synology. Why have multiple devices unnecessarily?
