Seeking opinions on this migration path from push-pull to SET

146.7.42.28

1. Mod my CAL Alpha DAC back to its original 3.5V output voltage from the 1.5V I padded it to
2. Purchase Decware Zen Triode Integrated SE34I.2 and replace stock Russian tubes with NOS (except for EL34; I like the Svetlana "flying C's" sound)
3. Continue to use my existing Thiel CS.5 (87dB sensitivity) loudspeakers until I can afford more efficient speakers
4. Continue to use my existing Transparent Audio interconnects and speaker cables until I can afford something which mates better with the Zen and whichever new speakers I end up buying
5. Sell my c-j PV10BL preamp, c-j MV55 power amp, and one set of interconnects
Comments? TIA!
