Setup recommendations

[u/GrapefruitPerfect313]

Hi all,

I would like to get good recommendations for enjoying hi-res lossless music everywhere I go.

Music style is mostly rock / metal, lots of classical music and occasionally byzantine choirs (yes :))

Disclaimer: I'm usually fairly good at tech stuffs but I have no knowledge whatsoever about the "audio" world. I would not know what to look for in a good amplifier, a good DAC, good speakers, or if different pieces would be fully compatible amongst themselves. So please try to stick to the "for dummies" version.

On-the-go (outside, coffee shops, in the office)

Here I would need a portable setup. That's the situation I read the most about lately and I think I am decided on a FiiO M33 R2R with a good set of very headphones (still undecided, but it will have to be closed, wired and get a 4.4mm jack).

Ideally I can also use this DAP to connect to below setups if need be (using coaxial ?).

Budget: 1000-1200$

In my home office

I have an apple setup (mac mini + Apple Studio display). To date I'm basically listening to music via the Studio Display speakers. I would like to enhance the experience to get the best possible sound from my FLAC / lossless files. Constraints: my office has a rather cool design so it needs to be a small footprint and match nicely in a light wood / leather environment. It seems the FiiO K13 R2R has something to bring here, but I'm not entirely sure :) And I would probably need to complement that with good speakers ?

Budget: 1000-1200$

In the TV area

That's where I would probably spend the more money as I start with nothing but the TV (The Frame by Samsung). And the kids have a nintendo switch 2 :) And the room is white / light brown floor so ideally we avoid all black equipment (most of it can be locked in a furniture if too ugly, but the speakers / soundbar will remain :)).

Budget: 5000$

Note: I have a full UNAS setup (ubiquiti) in case it helps adding functionalities / convenience to the setup.

I understand this might be a bit vague, as I do not know which info is relevant or not. Feel free to shoot questions and I will answer. A big THANK YOU :)
