Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital?

Does "soup to nuts" not include loudspeakers? Power amp?  *Only* the DAC + streamer, with or without preamp functions?  

Some of the above suggestions (such as the Lumin P1) could cost $10K for the streamer/DAC/preamp alone.  The Lumin P1 is a great suggestion  if it's the only thing you need.

For less than half the price of the P1, consider the Matrix Element X2. The HiFi Rose RS150B runs about $5K.   For these, you'd still need a power amp. If you don't already have one, consider the Benchmark AHB2.  But that wouldn't leave much for speakers.

Another alternative: the Naim Unity Atom for about $3800, which includes amplification.  With ~$6K left after the Unity Atom you have many decent options for loudspeakers, if you need those.  Maybe the KEF LS50, Spendor A7 (a bit over budget),  Magnepans ... depending on your preferences and possibly on what is available to audition in your area.

@m-db  Unsurprisingly (for Agon forum), not a single post with feedback on how to address the incoming ISP aspects.

You will achieve significant downstream upsides by moving away from your cable provider's modem/router and xFi pod. Replace these with self-procured modem > mesh router > mesh satellite.  This essentially mimics / mirrors your current Comcast/Xfinity setup...but will return much better sound quality. 

The above investment still leaves a significant percentage of your 10K budget for a network player and DAC. You will, of course, recoup your investment (over time) as you will not be paying a monthly fee for the Comcast/Xfinity equipment.

Feel free to PM me for specifics.

I have Comcast/Xfinity coaxial cable to their modem/router in an Apple equipped office approximately twenty feet from a remote xFi Pod with 2 ethernet outputs next to my rack. If this source is adequate what would you suggest next with a $10K budget?

Great advise! I intentionally held back any advice on network optimization in my original post. For all we know, the OP may ends up with Node 2 or equivalent which seems to be gold standard for many newbie’s and Vinyl fanatics…LOL!

We both know from our experience, everything matters!

Streamer / Dac I will never ever buy Lumin  Aurender, and Auralic

they’re too overhyped and plainly ugly lol 😂

Oh - so you want to also be able to play your physical CDs, rather than rip them to the computer? You have a nice network setup already with a Mac in one room and the stereo in the other. I have the same. I use an optical Rendu as an endpoint to erase any OCD feelings about noise entering the system - deep breathing or therapy likely work for this as well. You can run all the software on your Mac from anywhere. As to the last millennium approach of browsing through your CDs or records, pulling one out, and popping it in the player, no modern software or streamer captures that experience (in my opinion). If you want to stream, then you no choice other than to submit a different intuitive interface with music.
