Using Tape Outputs
Staring at $71 + sales tax delivered More expenditure often begets better aural quality. I would start there and try improvements if desired.  
Schiit Loki equalizer causing POPPING SOUND
Warranty if they honor it.

diffusion at first reflective points + what ive learned about room treatments
Thanx for your observations.

Do I have to get a CD player to sample DSD on my digital rig?

Well then it cannot legally happen. You HAVE to do it yourself. Most LPs you can already find on the Internet as files. They are much easier to grab if they are already digitized  But that is a gray area too.  
A.I. music
If it sounds good to you embrace it. Otherwise ignore, like many human creations. OP talks of "next year" and cites an article from "last year."  
Inflation being tracked in the UK with vinyl records
Inflation is but a subterfuge. Governments overspend, devalue the currency and then concoct BS to distract us.
