If you invested in a NUC running Roon, you would have points 4,5 and 6 covered. You can get a cheap, powerful NUC made up for you for not very much money (see here:https://devialetchat.com/Thread-AudioLinux-NUC) and could initially get a 1 year Roon license to see if you like that way forward (I think you would like it very much!). The most expensive item is potentially the power conditioner, you could then audition various cable configurations to suit your pocket/taste.
