New system assembled, eventual gym system

Well I've put together the following and am a little mind blown by how it sounds given the cost.

Hifiman Serenade Jr NOS discrete R2R DAC/Roon End Point > Magnetism M210 SE passive pre > SMSL PA400 GaN power amp > Lenehan Audio ML1 Reference speakers

Aurealis Audio Redline CuV RCA's

Foilflex speaker cables

I'm genuinely impressed with this system irrespective of price point actually. These little speakers really like power! Incredible bass impact and speed, and a wonderful sense of depth to soundstage. Speakers don't seem that fussy about placement. They come alive at medium to higher volume levels so this will be incredible for gym use. Pretty much the only time we play music loud. :)
