I don't set out to limit my hardware choices, nor software ones. Please give examples.
My audio goal is simply to achieve the best sound quality possible within the budget I'm prepared to invest in this hobby. In order to achieve this, I certainly wouldn't want vinyl playback or associated media, and I wouldn't want a pile of boxes if one would do the job at much lower cost. I've grown out of DIY although I used to be active in this area. I want high quality reliable kit that can deliver excellent sound without fuss.
Do you think I could get better sound with different kit? How would you have spent the sort of money I have with my NAD33 all-in-one and Avantgarde Duo XD speakers, plus Qobuz subscription? That's really all I need apart from a pair of speaker cables. Spreading any budget over lots of components must surely mean that each is compromised.
