That is quite an ambitious start with some very good gear. Was somebody advising you on your purchases?
HiFi systems are all about synergy, meaning that all the components in the system must work well together to produce quality sonics that you enjoy listening to.
The only way to know is to power it up, let the components break in for a number of hours, then sit back and listen.

I would recommend that you install dedicated AC lines from your circuit panel to power your system. Then you will be isolated from all the electrical devices in your home which add noise, especially the appliances.

What is your digital source? I know you have the Benchmark DAC, but will you be using CD, computer audio, streaming?

i started my reasearch ( reading online and asking around ) about a year ago , and i also have a relative that i bought the euphonias from him who helped me , but i had a general idea so moslty my set up is based on my  conclusions . i’m an electrician , so i was thinking of installing dedicated circuit lines from the panel , but i thought with the power suply i didn’t have to , but i didn’t really know the reason , thanks for explaining ! i am curently working on the table and my space , so i didn’t power it up yet
