Benchmark DAC2 HGC -> Krell KCT -> Krell FBB 350 mcx -> Martin Logan reQuest

Or

Benchmark DAC2 HGC -> Krell KCT Zone 2 -> JBL LSR 308

There are various ways to get from a source to the DAC, though.

A system I just threw together in a temporary living situation that sounds surprisingly good:

miniDSP DDRC-24 > Dayton SUB-800/BIC Formula F12/Niles SI-275 > Bay Audio JAM Monitor

Multi-sub, room correction, and speaker equalization go a long way towards great sound. Even if the performance of any given component isn't great.

Main system: Devialet Original d'Atelier > Goldmund Epilog 1&2.
Horn system: Job INTegrated > Tune Audio Anima
Study NAD D3020 > Proac EBS
In these systems the DAC is built into the amp.
In my study I can also use headphones with a RME ADI-2 Pro DAC/Amp
Bedroom Resolution Audio Cantata Music system v1 > Nuforce 9se > Yamaha NS1000M
DSP active system : Devialet silver Phantom

Looking very over the top when written down...
