System Advice required please

This is my current set up :

Intel NUC fanless with 2tb SSD

Singxer SU6 DDC

Denafrips Pontus II DAC

Willsenton R8 AMP

Proac DB1 and Rel subwoofer

think the NUC might be the weak link in the chain and considering options

have looked at SoTM sms200 ultra neo or Soundgenic

price wise, looking to spend max £1500

would welcome any guidance from the collective

thanks all

Are you using the NUC just for ripping and network playback or coming that with streaming as well? I used an integrated amp for years before moving up to what I use now- nothing wrong with that as long as it fits your needs. At the time I used a separates- a disk player and music server but no streaming. What are your highest priorities when it comes to your system?
