HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?

@mahgister enjoy. Get all you can out of what you have.  

Slow and steady, and curbing my expectations. Learning when I have had enough. That's how I have the system I now have, which with the exception of having added streaming, is pretty much what I had 10 years ago. 

@zavato man I’m here and happy.  I got a pretty expensive rig but it’s not the cost that made my system. I got synergy throughout.  I’m happy as ever and I’m calling it a day. We have to learn when to hold em. I’m holding!

I assembled what I thought was the perfect digital system as the culmination of nearly half a century in this wonderful hobby from vinyl to CD to digital files to streaming. There were many twists and turns along the way, but it took the reintroduction of a vinyl source last year to get me to where I want to be.

My upgrade path was the same as bassbuyer, I did it over time as well and my system is now worth $85,000 Canadian just upgraded my amp to the SIM audio 861 amplifier which just beat the dagostino momentum MVX-S250 in head to head testing for a month by a customer who owned the D'Agostino he said that the 861 was better in every area and he sold the dagostino and bought the 861, the D'Agostino is $44,000 US and the 861 is $22,000 US, just goes to show you how good SIM audio amplifiers are they will beat other amplifiers at double and triple the price.
