I dunno, these sorts of things are all easy, really. There are no wrong answers with good equipment is my experience.
Whatever makes you happy.
I've been a B & W fan forever and am currently on 804 Diamonds driven by a top line Integra receiver. Simple, really.
I bought Roon and just love moving through my 2+ TB library almost every day.
Makes me happy.
I have my music library PC based, top notch audio card sending analogue to receiver, and for "private times" break out my Sennheiser 800HD's.
No high end DACs or thousand dollar interconnects.
All this stuff is around $20 grand I suppose, but my set up would be scoffed at by many audiophiles as being meagre, particularly on the upstream side.
Good friend of mine is all about billions $ in Mac equipment, such as you are jonesing for.
I love his hardware but am just not a fan of his speakers.
For me, that is where the rubber hits the road. Speakers. Pick the speakers that make you happy - the rest is of little consequence i think...
