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.

As much as I admire your choices (and I do), Rrog has it right. The best systems work together in ways that you will not understand without listening. Even things which should match, on paper, like hand in glove, sometimes do not get it right.

As you have been doing a fair bit of reading, I am sure that you are not going to overlook what is probably the most important synergistic relationship in audio - the room/speaker interaction.

Best of luck!
