What is in the stack
Each layer is a complete ecosystem at a different spend, not a shuffled product list. Entry, Enthusiast, and Pro keep the same slot logic so upgrades stay coherent.
DAC / Streamer
mandatory base — source fidelity sets the ceiling for your chain
Stereo Amplifier
power and control — must match source capability
Bookshelf Speakers
listening endpoint — matched to your amplifier pairing
Headphones
private listening and late-night sessions
Accessories
turntable, cables, or record care
