Well I’m not gonna spend that amount of money on audio gear but yeah if speaker quality and ESPECIALLY the room are MUCH more important, the dac is just the cherry on top. My living room is quite big with tall ciellings (made of concrete and bricks), when I needed to change the furniture the room was really empty, that made the music sound echoy and harsh. It’s facinating what little things like that make to the experience!

That’s exactly what I needed thanks!
