Welcome! - it's good to have new/old blood join the group. Get your cherished stuff cleaned up and running as well as possible. If you haven't tried streaming sources, by all means do so. You will be amazed at the improvement in sound quality that is immediately available and conveniently. After you get every last drop of performance out of your gear you may get back on the treadmill chasing incrementally better performance. Modern hardware & software is so good it will likely blow your mind (that's a good thing) so enjoy the ride and share your journey with all of us on the Circle!
P.S. - Bob actually WAS my uncle, until he passed away a few years ago, RIP.
