@hoping If you are starting from scratch and want to do it one and done I have an alternate approach to consider.
Moon by Simaudio has an All-in-One called the ACE and it’s an integrated amplifier with a DAC and streamer and they have a pair of speakers designed as a system. And then Linn has complete systems with active speakers that you may find compelling as a minimalist and exceptional sound quality.
They would both come in below your budget.
Enjoy the journey.
