@sabih You've lost an arm and a leg. Hopefully it wasn't buying those 130,000 records. just kidding. There's a story in there if you'd like to share.

My primary front end rig is a Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 transport and Denafrips Pontus II DAC using an I2S connection. Dumped my vinyl decades ago and have never looked back. Secondary is my Bluesound Node 2i connected to the Pontus II for streaming.

My front end consists of a Technics SL1200G with a Shure V15 Type4 cartridge with a Jico stylus, Sony Music server, Esoteric SACD player and a McIntosh tuner.  I use the McIntosh tuner the most, followed by the Esoteric SACD player.
