Best bang for buck (and really decent sound), Hifiberry Amp100, DSP add on board, Raspberry Pi4 (for your integrated amplifier). Spend the rest on highly efficient speakers. Make cables out of Mogami from parts express.

I like Jazz on vinyl, especially older stuff, Duke Ellington Live at Newport is a personal favorite. Also, folk/bluegrass sounds better and less “processed.” I like The Milk Carton Kids Live From Lincoln Theater. A strange flyer out there is occasional EDM. A particular album Pretty Lights A Color Map of the Sun just hits different on vinyl. And surprisingly Run The Jewels first album RTJ1 - sounds impeccable on vinyl, bass is tighter and more muted compared to the digital variants. I’m all over the place musically.
