Next Upgrade Recommendations?

The OP has been on a fun journey, they started with the XS, different PSU, and Node & Thorens. And after the threads below looks to have followed advice by swapping to a Hicap, adding the 200, and adding a Chord Qutest. If it was me I think I’d finish the journey and add a preamp in place of the XS integrated.

The speakers I assume are a reasonably personal choice, if you like the monitor based sound then it seems strange to change that at this stage.

Node into Qutest seems like a very reasonable streaming front end to me.
