My personal pleasure for the better part of fifty years is reading and listening to music together. Used to be books, now it's mainly Kindle on the iPad or laptop. I don't find it "counterproductive for music appreciation"; quite the opposite. Sometimes I interrupt the reading to browse for info and analysis about the music and musicians. I suppose it's the contemporary equivalent to looking at the album cover and studying the liner notes. To each his own, obviously.
Anyway, it appears you have received some good suggestions and advice here regarding your original post. I second the recommendation to liberate the Oppo 103 deck from the closet. I ran an Oppo 205 as my streamer for a while, and it worked and sounded just fine.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
