Agreed in spades. IME balanced operation yields far more improvement

Yes with Vortexbox you should be able to install triodes plugin and
Spotify streaming should work then.
Unfortunately I cannot test it myself as Spotify is not available in
Germany - but as triodes plugin streams FLAC all should be fine.

Yes, SBS supports APE by converting it to Flac.
I would go ahead and convert them before adding them to the library.
There's no loss in quality and Flac is better supported by SBS.
