System assessment...

Just retired...I have the time and interest to consider system upgrades. Although I have some very nice gear, I'm not sure about the synergy of the system as a whole. My system has been assembled over many years, gradualy making upgrades and improvements. Sadly, all changes have been done through thorough research, and educated risk taking.. I don't have access to a brick and mortar shop, a 5 hour drive to Chicago or Twin Cities... 

I'm looking for opinions regarding my system. Do I have components that don't necessarily complement each other based upon others experience and opinions. I'm open to stepping back and rethinking the entire system if necessary. Below is a list of my components and speakers. 

Aestthetix, Mimas , integrated w/DAC 

Jay;s Audio M2 transport

VPI Prime w/ Shyla cart

Manley Chinook, Upscale Audio Special, phono

KEF ref. 1 (not Meta)

(2) REL SHO S/3 subs

Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables

My other cables are a hodgepodge  collection of  budget and midrange quality.

Any observations?

Thanks.

Greetings,

I find this discussion quite interesting, especially Mapman's comment regarding DSP. I know nothing about Roon or DSP, but having the ability to customize the SQ is certainly intriguing. After reading a little bit, does Roon automatically come with DSP? Do you need to purchase a Roon server? I currently have an Aurender A15 which is Roon ready. (whatever that means) Last question. Is it advisable to use a separate PC to run Roon?

Thanks to all!
