First Hi-Fi system

Hey all,

After much research, reading, learning, and some listening, I have tentatively decided on the following as my first system:

Pathos Classic One Mkiii
PS Audio Digital Link III DAC
Dynaudio Excite X12 (or x16 or Focus 110/140)
Wadia 170i transport

Would love your thoughts, suggestions, comments on the system and putting it together, maybe suggesting interconnects and cables as well.

Thanks to everyone on this site. it truly is a great place to learn about hi-fi.

thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!.... Now, forget about the equipment, sit back, and enjoy the music. Dig up a few discs of your favorite tunes, put a comfortable chair in the ideal listening position (this may take some trial and error experimentation...but have fun doing it and don't stress out), and have a great time with your newly acquired listening pleasure !!

Johnimoto, well done. You did your research, your not going to buy on impulse and this a good start. Once the system is assembled, let us know what your likes and dislikes are.
