Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner
I have a Denali 6000S V.2 with an Alpha V.2 XC to the wall. It's an outstanding piece of gear.   As far as a lot of used Everests' who knows, could be there's something better that the Uber wealthy think is better for twice the price.

Chord Hugo TT2 with Chord Mscaler. You can find the pair for under $10k and that’ll leave you money for good cables.

Tube amps under $7500
Ayon Spirit. You can use it as a power or preamp or integrated   
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
@adasdad I’ve decided to keep TT2/ Mscaler. Dave would be the upgrade, but I’ve splurged on cables Shunyata Sigma USB from Auralic G2.2 to Mscaler. Then dual Shunyata BNC Sigma V.2 s/pidif to TT2.
