Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5
The hardest speaker to manage to listen to is the Spendor Classic100. It is a no-show at the few, rare stocking dealers in the USA. Love the old BC1s.I have heard the all the Harbeths and personally prefer the HLS 5+followed by the 30.2 and the 40... 
DAC general question
Buy your DAC from someone who:1. Only makes DACs2. Offers a trial periodI like R2R style with a tube. AD1865 chip. 
Help/advice, upgrading my vintage amplifier!
That's a big YES. Sell the Sansui and buy a used tube amp. Rogue?The SQ will double. 
Perfect match for ATC speakers
Missed the budget but here goes. Parasound Monos, AVA monos,Buy more power than required so when you upgrade to somethinglike used 40SMTs you are set. Nice system by the way! 
Anybody own a component that sounds better with the cover off?
Cages resonate.  
My Experience With Tekton

Thinking Out Loud
Did you say which speakers, room size, db & music preference? 
Getting with the 21st century, need DAC for streaming
Denafrips Pontus is a good starter. $1800. If you hate it they resell in seconds. Soekris is likely better but available?You need a real streamer too. 
Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5
I can say this- Listened to the Graham $18k and $23k speakersin August. I heard the 30.2 and 40.2 at Axpona or RMAF in 2019.Preferred the 30.2 over the 40.2. Same sized hotel room for both and was probably too small for the 40.2s.As for the Graham... 
Another GaN smaller integrated, Technics SU-G30 has everything bar the kitchen sink.
