Say I bide my time and score some Black Friday type deal and pay a total of $900 for a pair of KEF q150 speakers and a Cambridge Audio CXA61 to power them. This is for a small-ish sized room/setting. Can I do any better with anything else (speakers plus integrated amp w/DAC)?

Thanks. Yes, I have no interest in roon. I've got the WiiM connected with optical to send my receiver 48 kHz / 24 bits. This give my old Pioneer VSX-D509S receiver and Yamaha NS-6390 speakers some new life, allowing me to bide my time as I contemplate an upgrade. Thanks for all the feedback...
