The components tat you purchased are high performance ones. You have set a nice budget for the speaker cables. Is it possible to get cables of same length for both the speakers?I very highly recommend the Clear Day, from my experience.Talk to Paul... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Probably they got tired, trying to find which is better, of the following, and gave up:1. Tubes or Solid State2. Digital or AnalogAnd maybe recently:PCM or DSD:-))) 
Universal player or DAC?
Why not both? I am so tempted to buy the Oppo 105D and then get the yet-to-be-released Bryston BDA-3 which I can use as a DAC for even SACD, through HDMI. I do not know enough about jitter through HDMI, though.I am not sure if the PSA Direct Strea...

What speakers for 10k?
The new KEF Reference 3 looks interesting and promising. Why not PMC Fact 8 or twenty.26? Try to audition these at a dealer and see if you like them.

Help set up OPPO 105
1. Remove the RCA/XLR connections from Oppo to Hegel.2. The connect the S/PDIF cable from Oppo to Hegel3. Switch the "Input" as "S/PDIF" (or whichever corresponding) on the Hegel.4. Sit down and enjoy your music!No other settings on the Oppo.

REFERENCE 3 A SPEAKERS
Nyaudio98,I have not heard the Reference 3A. But once I had demoed the Triangles at AudioVision in SanFrancisco and they were a bit too bright and forward sounding for my taste. I should mention that they were driven by some solid state gears (pro... 
DAC with HDMI Input
Lse,Thanks for the link. I was well aware that HDMI costs companies a lot to implement, because of licensing. But the bigger factor that I understand is there is more jitter through HDMI than through any other inputs on the DAC. Bryston does not c...
