I currently reside in Hong Kong and can provide what I would be able to fit in my space here. A From/To scenario.
Then what I will do when I move back to my house in Canada. I bought my first home (built in 2016) in September 2018. It's considerably larger than my flat.
The HK living room isn't too big but by HK standards very large for one person at 13 by 17 by 9-foot ceilings. All concrete.
The HK system present to cost no object.
Like you, I am using Foobar2000 - it always works - it's free and I like lists over pictures. I tried some free for 30 days ones but I didn't like them as much - Kinda lazy to bother with it.
DAC: Audio Note 0.1X - I would upgrade to the Fifth Force/Fifth Element
Transport: Cambridge Audio CXC to Audio Note CDT6
Vinyl: Audio Note TT3 (PSU1)/Arm3(v2) and IQ3 Cart - I would probably go to the TT3 Reference with ANS1 Arm and Io Ltd cart and S9 SUT - I find their design approach to be the best approach in vinyl replay and I felt that way when I heard the Voyd Reference back in the day.
Preamp: Audio Note M6 Phono to Audio Note M9 Phono (Good enough for Steve Hoffman - good enough for me) (Not heard the M10 properly)
Power amps: Audio Note Gaku-On monoblocks (or Legends but not heard them yet) and for SS Analog Domain monoblocks
Speakers: Audio Note E/SPx AlNiCo would switch to AN E/SOOTO
If I were back home in a big room the above system would probably stay the same but I'd switch the speakers for Acapella Audio Arts Sphaeron Excalibur speakers.
