The Hana cartridges are full sounding....The PS Audio Stellar phono pre will give you a more full sound and if that's still not full enough....add a $200 Schiit Loki Mini ...you can EQ. fullness into the sound to suit your taste. Great little unit...

Huff is constantly having a BEST of breed because he HAS TO......he has to keep changing out equipment to do what he does. The T+A Dac is great...The Aavik U-150 is also fantastic and the Weiss DAC is also great.....There is ALOT of great equipmen...

T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
Steve Huffs reference DAC is the T+A DAC 200 with his Aavik U-150 Integrated amp. He has had MANY DACs to review and he's more into the Musicality of gear than what the specs are. I'd go with the T+A.  
Should I steer clear of class D amps

Amp vs Preamp which is more important?
PRE_AMP, No question is more important...It takes years to Realize this but once you do......you do !  AudioGD HE-1 XE SLR with it's own regenerative power supply @ $4000 is the best 10 tube pre I've heard under $15K and the Part Time Audiophile a... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
Synergy...synergy....synergy.is more important than any individual piece. Aavik and Borresen have it in spades. The Borresen X-3's @ 11K compare to many $20- 30 K speakers in sound and fit and finish and when driven by Aavik gear...well, talk abou...
