@dragonbutx, I agree with Ina about the Focal Alto Be speakers. I used to own their bigger brother, the Focal Utopias and the Utopia house sound, build quality, aesthetics and re-sale value are reasons I would also recommend these speakers.
You may want to consider saving some money by buying a good music streamer/server/DAC like a Lumin S1 or if on a budget an Aurender A10. I recommend making sure it's MQA certified.
This will allow you to not buy a CD layer or a tuner. A TIDAL HiFi subscription for $20/month gives you access to over 35,000,000 songs at Redbook CD quality. I can't tell a difference between Redbook format songs I stream via TIDAL and CDs I play on my Ayre CD player. You'll also have the advantage of playing MQA songs which trump CD Redbook sound quality. TIDAL's MQA album selection is growing rapidly.
Instead of a tuner, you can use TuneIn or other free Internet radio station players integrated in the music server. Just make sure the music server you select supports seamless integration of TIDAL MQA and internet radio stations such as TuneIn and you'll be good to go.
