Eversolo A8
Send zidoo an email.   They have done several updates on the A6 and seem intent on refining and improving their products   
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
I just picked up a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors, a  rear ported single driver speaker for my bedroom.   Perfect with a 10" REL sub.     There are no rules....  trial and error  
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
I have in the past switched it up from floorstanders to bookshelves due problems with the room.  It was easy to get really good performance with a pair of stand mounts and a sub I now have floorstanders in a different setting and would never go b... 
Help choosing a DAC
Check out the Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference.   Cost is about the same as a Venus  https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2023/03/12/lab12-dac1-review/

It's a sleeper and a keeper..... great preamp.

That is a nice system.   I owned that pre and it is a sleeper.   My problem with Denafrips is there is no return policy.     What is your budget ?   Maybe consider used ,   check out TMR in Colorado.  They have a good return policy.     
2024 Audio System Wish List
Funny you mention GIK Acoustics....    I have been looking at their site and think that would be a good investment at this point.       
Lifting the Christmas veil
Awesome!    Proof you really are a lucky guy.     Enjoy  
2 channel preamp and a/v processor setup to avoid dual volume control issues.
Use the Mc's volume for TV and movies.   Only rub is you have to make sure you lower the volume considerably on the Krell before playing other sources

Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
I will echo how great Aurender support is.    These are basically computers so support is key.  Aurender can correct some issues over the network.    I was having an issue with internet radio stations and they took care of it remotely.   
Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
I was hoping to demo a Lumen and that didn’t work out.   Have heard a lot of positive things about the hardware and SQ.       I bought a N200 and have zero regrets , it is a great machine   
Bluesound Node settings
My last few cable purchases have been DH Labs. I think the D750 Coax and Mirage cables are excellent quality for the money.   I also have their Air Matrix Cryo RCA and my all tube system is dead quiet ....  put your ear right against the horn twee... 
Bluesound Node settings
Enjoy.   My first streamer was the Bluesound Vault 2i.   That machine changed my life...    I have never discovered so much great music in such a short time.    I still play LPs but find myself streaming most of the time.   Try them both.  When ... 
Eversolo a6 and Lampizator
The Eversolo is better than you would think at it's price.   I have always been a harsh critic of budget Chinese gear, but I have first hand experience with the A6 and it is pretty damn good as a streamer only .  I set one up in my Dad's system , ...
