If you had to start all over again in this day and age

So, with the advent of different technology, sources and platforms these days, if you had to build your home stereo system all over again, what would you purchase to listen to music that brings you satisfaction?

How much of what you have would you keep, change or throw all out and start over again?

@roberjerman, I still have my Sleeping Beauty along with the Goliath head amp from my all GAS system from the seventies, it's what got me into moving coils and never looked back from that point on. Enjoy the music

I would gave gone all in on McIntosh instead of wasting thousands upon thousands of dollars constantly upgrading.  While McIntosh is not for everyone, to me it is the Holy Grail of electronics.

Kren, you have more cajones than me far as this streaming stuff goes.
I asked the question to see if people were finding satisfaction with streaming as this seems to be the upcoming wave. 
I also recall how they said cd's were gonna be dead 10 years ago.

I'm a chicken to move toward streaming. It took me years to get a cd player. To me an audio system is still about a tt, a player and a good ole single ended.

You've trimmed yours down to what many are saying to do. Streamer/dac, integrated...done. I'm afraid to lose those "shimmering highs" however.
