I would go for the following used equipment.

For Audio Only - Spinning CDs
DSP8Ks 15K
808.3 5K

Total 20K

The 8Ks well enough said.
808.3 M's flagship for ultimate CD quality.

For Audio Only - Server Based
DSP8Ks 15K
Ensemble (with 2TB drive) 2K
MS600 2K

Total 19K

The Ensemble supplies the Sooloos Core and Storage (good for 5000+ CDs)
The MS600 adds an extremly high quality zone to drive the 8Ks.
Then as funds allow, I would add a processor and a DSP5200HC

For Multi-Channel A/V
DSP8Ks 15K
DSP5Ks 1.5K
861v4 2K
Oppo �500

Total 19K

Then as funds allow I would add a DSP5500HC.

Regards,
Carl
