System I am building

Discussion

I am building my first system. I have chosen a fosi s3 lite digital transport, Geshelli TORC dac featuring the AK4499EXEQ dual mono processing and opa 1655 opamps. Khozmo Dual mono balanced passive preamp configured to 10k ohms using z-foil ladder. the power amps will be geshelli G-BLOK mono amps to power a pair of Ascend Sierra-2EX V2 and the bass will be handled by rythmik F-12G or maybe an L12 using floating 3rd pin cables to convert to unbalanced.

My room is 15'x7'x8' the front wall has 2' 45 degree chamfered corners. They're hosting 2'x4'x6" GIK amplitude bass traps while the center hosts a 2'x4'x8" amplitude trap. Side reflection points handled with mineral wool acoustic panels 2'x4'x4" with a ceiling cloud of same. Back wall has an open hallway on one side occupying 1/3 the width with no treatment yet.

My budget is 10k.

Tips? Suggestions? Thanks!
