Help a recovering audiophile build a system


Hello there! I have been out of this hobby (sickness) for about 2 years now. In 2008 I sold my entire system (look up Beauty and the Beasts) and decided to take a little breather. I am now ready to get back into this hobby, determined this time to stay focused on enjoying the music and not spend a ridiculous amount of money (no more than $4K per component).

My system now consists of a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona monitors and a huge digital music library. I am looking for advice on the following:

Integrated Amp
DAC
CD transport (instead of a DAC a CDP that has digital inputs would be nice)

My goals are clarity, dynamics, and speed with just a touch of sweetness.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Stay away, don't do it, don't get dragged back in....

Hey, if you need a fix though, I've got cables, good cables, cheap.... Change your life man.
Impossible. You will be posting beauty and the beasts squared by springtime-- Lol. You could try a pass int 150 with ps audio dac3. Or for less how about naim nait integrated?
hey, you could buy my whole system.

then I would have to buy a new one.

AWESOME!!!
