Looking for some Schiit advice before I jump into the deep end

I have a modest setup I've built up over the years but I want to replace my dying hand me down home theater amp with a proper setup that's flexible for whatever my future plans are.

The current setup I use for listening to records for music, and getting quality TV audio because it's already right under my TV anyway so I might as well use it. I know there are better digital sources for music than a TV, and possibly adding those in the future is part of why I want the flexibility of a stack.

Sources

- Fluance RT85N Turntable + Mani (I got the Mani a few years ago when the phono preamp was the first thing to go on my 30 year old Sony receiver. And intend to keep it)

- TV via Optical

Speakers

-2 Monitor Audio Silver 300's

-1 RSL Speedwoofer 10s mk 2

- Occasional headphones, my highest impedance are DT770 80hms. Nothing that any headphone ready amp/preamp can't handle really

I'm leaning towards slightly overkill now because any choice I'd make now I'm living with and using daily for years.

My initial thoughts were

- Mimmir to keep a digital input, and hame room for more if I want to add a second digital source specifically for music down the line

- Saga because it's a preamp that shouldn't limit me, but doesn't have anything I don't

- Aegir for amplification, considering the efficiency of the Silver 300's

But given the 10s mk 2s flexibility of input. I'm not sure if I should go speaker level stay line in. And what changes I'd have to make to the setup to accommodate that choice

Up until now I really have benefited from the idiot proof ness of the now dying receiver I have been running. But I have always planned to replace it with somebody more involved. So forgive any clear dumbassery.

I tried to give all the information I could but will answer any questions, any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you
