Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ?
Can't operate vinyl anymore. What's the best way to sell without shipping? Sota Sapphire and 6 carts.  
Realism in instruments how to achieve it?
It is microphone technique that determines realism. Of course if you are looking for a particular sound you need particular instruments. To me Ray Chen's current Strad does not sound as good as the previous one I heard him play.      
My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.)
Thank you for your service.  
The death of ultra hiend audio
@jl35  That's what she said.  
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
Old is actually when it is too hard to play an LP in the first place.  
Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice!
Wwoderfull story.  
CD's or Vinyl?
Neither. Physical media is sooo 20th century.  
transferring music to SSD
Own music? Unless you are the orig artist or possess a bill of sale from said artist fuhgeddaboudit. All that you can possess otherwise is a right to play it. Streaming services do not "own" the music, only rights to play it. You can "own" any... 
Discovering New and Similar Music.
Thank you sir. Apparently some bands are so unique that they do not appear here.  Many dead ends.  
Do you grade your albums?
You exemplify the fact that the original recording quality is often more important for "hifi" SQ than components or cables.  
Can I run my wireless speakers through an external DAC?
Plug them in.  
Streamer Recommendations
What he said.  
DDC Comparisons
The Matrix X+SPDIF 2 was one of the first. If your DAC makes the i2s interface sound better you would probably get better SQ with a different DAC.  
What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
Your gain may vary.  
ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT
i2s is not the step up that you think it is. It is totally dependant on the DAC and somewhat on the cabling.
