I need a DAC, cabling, a amp and speakers. Any suggestions would be much appreciated? The system will be played off a Computer and the DAC needs a USB option. I was considering either a Beresford tc-7D20 or a V-dac def favoring the Beresford having talked to Stanley today.
The Amp and the speakers, I really do not know.

The system will be for a small room, musically I would like the system to sound 'fun.' I know this is a terrible ambigious phrase but it is the best I could come up with, mainly I mean exact accuracy is not the key I looking for.
I listen to rock/pop, indie rock, classical, jazz, and acoustic music. I really dont care about bass or the abilty for good sound at anything above a 'normal' listening volume. The system would also ideally be easy too set up. Finally, as well as buying new I am also considering buying second hand, thinking that then I would be able to trial and resell equipment would this be advisable? If so where is a good place to look for second hand gear? Any dealers offering to sell or people thinking of selling second hand also please message.

Thanks in advance,
