I'm going to build my new budget hifi desktop system.
After many research I found many products.


Speaker: Q Acoustics 3010i.
Amp: Topping MX3s (DAC Built in).
PLayer: Streamer From PC (Tidal).
Cable: Audioquest Slip 16/2 2x2meters.
BAnana Plug : Nakamichi.

What do u guys think about this setup?
Should I change something to maximize my sound performaNCE?
 
I suggest you take a look at the Kanto YU4 - compact powered speakers with both analogue and digital inputs. They are very good, and you could add a WiiM Mini if you wanted a cheap way to have PC-free high-quality streaming. It's what I would do for a desktop system.

Adam Audio T5V are a little more than Kanto YU4 but all the money is spend on amplification of the fully active speakers and as a desktop solution are primary designed as near field monitors. Audioengine A2+ wireless are slightly cheaper than either.

Less clutter, less fuss and you review as a system and not attempting to get a better match of amp to speakers for your budget and whether to pay that bit too much.

There's a good balance there, also consider in place of the Topping MX3s, the Fosi Audio MC351 2.1 Channel Bluetooth Stereo Integrated Amplifier with DAC.

Or if you can stretch your budget further, R11 R2R DAC plus, either Fosi Audio ZA3 Stereo Power Amplifier TPA3255 Class D or Ayima D Class equivalent.
The Douk Audio A5 TPA3255 Stereo Amp will be cheaper than the Fosi or Ayima.

Kanto Yu4 a lil bit pricey here

I have already purchased the devices I mentioned above.
Can't wait to unboxing and test.
If I'm not satisfied with the quality of the sound, it's ok this is the beginning of my audiophile journey.
Well, thanks for the recommendation. GBU

No worries, Hifi is a journey and as you get more into it, you'll get an idea of what you hope to get from it.
The best of luck on your journey 👍🙂
