A rookie with 10K, seeking advise

Thank you for your comments! Please bear with me. As a rookie, I don't even know much about what kind of details I need to provide.

I have a rega planar 3 with ortofon 2m black, connected to a PS Audio phono amp. A friend gave me a Denafrips terminator I DAC to use. (I guess that's the origin of my problems, as I have two XLR inputs now.)

Room size is not small, I can use a pair of floorstanding speakers. I foresee myself upgrading a few things as budget allows in the next 3-5 years. Not sure if you need more details.

I agree with the above comment. Also, as you mentioned, this is way to broad of a question in order to get any sort of valuable feedback. 

Tubes will always get my hearty recommendation. You didn't mention your analog front end or your phono preamp. Personally, I'm not a fan of all-in-one solutions like your PS Audio unit, but I understand if convenience and space is an issue. More details please.
