New Phono Cart with Character Needed
Straight up good old ortofon black mm cartridge. Very dynamic and engaging.   
DAC upgrade
I’ve had the qutest for 4 yrs. Love it. You won’t be disappointed.

I Am Not an Audio Snob
I love audio snobs! Keep it up   
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
The only part I question is the pass with the fortes. My experience with the heritage line is that they sound best with tubes. Who knows though. You’ve got great stuff and it might be a match in heaven. Have fun finding out.    cheers   
After a long, long sleep: ML-335
By a proper voltage variac on Amazon for 100$. Do what everyone else suggested powering it up. You should be ok.
