Wishful thinking, If I had £5k to spend on HiFi, what will be first on my list?

[Jasonovich]

I know, I have itchy fingers again, could be costly 🙂

If I had some spare change, I would invest in Eversolo DAC Streamer combination T8-Z10, not just for the sound but for overall user interface experience.
Any cash left from the purchase, I would consider upgrading the Dali's to something better.

What are your wishful thoughts?

Only 5k?
I'd have to spend ot on the wife.... 🙂

I don't think I could do it as it would totally unbalance my system!

However, if forced I'd look to replace my Node Icon with a British-made streamer of some sort. I know Naim do some fancy streamers at (and miles above!) a £5k price point, so maybe one of those. But streamers for me feel like the hardest part of a Hi-Fi setup to justify big spend on.

5 grand is just not enough, you can't buy a Pathos InPolEar for that, let alone a pair of Focal Stellias to go with it...

Best £5k you would ever spend. Get your room fully acoustically treated
Bass Traps , Diffusers / Absorptions Room is 75% of your sound
Crap speakers in a good room will sound better than Good speakers in a Crap room
If your partner wont allow panels Active acoustics

Ever since I became interested in—nay, obsessed with—high-quality music reproduction, my goal has been to attain the experience of being at a performance. Some audiophiles target the recreation of the event in their room—a "they are here" experience. Yet, it's obvious that the ensembles...

I like the idea of 5K£, which is nearly 6K€ on our continent. With this money, I will search for better speakers. Something like used Focal Kanta 3 or Triangle Cello 40 or Acoustic Energy Corinum. Most difficult will be to hide this activity, not to be discovered by my wife...😉.
