Question on component impedance mismatch
Impedance?  I think you mean gain. I traded a pre that played around 35 for one that plays around 70.  I prefer the latter. That said balanced attenuaters are only useful in an analog application, between the pre and power amps. .  
HDMI from TV for longish run to stereo system
You can do a Bluetooth setup without losing too much.

Review : XH-Electron XH-M541 mini amp + JBL Control Monitor Bookshelf Speakers
3.5 outputs are quickly intermittent. Not for me any more.

@arcticdeth News flash, it’s not the HDMI, it’s the cable. Ground Loop Hum TV/Noise Eliminator https://a.co/d/dcVbGZg. I doubt that any cables will affect ground hum. @mijostyn He did that and traced it to the Freya. Now what say you?

Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
I have ZERO interest in acquiring a really really good copy of any recording. The actual music and performance are what speak to me. If I had a "best" copy I would just get sick of it quicker. But supply and demand, you buy now. Buy buy.  
Radio Paradise becoming repetitive?

You can't legally buy copywritten programming bypassing the rights holder.  There is that. At least ripping them yourself involves no other parties.My view on upsampling is whatever sounds better.  I'm going to 376.4 on one player but maybe the bi... 
New Project RS2T transport
I had a Herbie's Super Black Hole mat that got the stickum eaten off it by my PC. They graciously sent out another one so I glued the naked one to the puck. It mates the disc perfectly. I've had zero issues with the CD Box in 30 months.

And for the ultimate in convenience - SACD rips.  
Why limit yourself to one streaming service?
I had three services at once. Can only listen to one @ a time and only 10-15% of the time at that. I have plenty of recorded music available besides streaming. I have zer0 need for more than one. And I get the 2¢ too.
