UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC
HiFi Rose just launched a DAC around your budget. I'm looking forward to hearing it, so no opinion other than it's worthy of keeping on your radar.  Others mentioned TT2 and you can experiment with the upscaler down the road. I've heard this comb... 
FEEDBACK HUM: Eversolo DMP A8 related
Disconnect the cables/sources, one at a time. Maybe it's one pair of RCA, or the HDMI causing it.  Or maybe you get the hum when the A8 is simply plugged into the wall with no source(s) connected and nothing connected to outputs. See what you fin...

I watched a number of his videos, then realized there were no constructive tips, just criticisms, and everything we do is fruitless and won't work.  After a few cycles of this, I chuckled, and gave up.

I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
Unless you can cure your neuroses, buy the new pair. Your doubts about the used pair are going to haunt you and ruin the experience. Godspeed to us all Over and out  
All around headphone amp recommendations
Moon 230 if you can "suffer" a mini chassis. For $2k it's a favorite. The 430HA or HAD if you want the DAC. Overall balance on that system is hard to beat
