Airpot Express - Upgrade amp or DAC?


I have a pair of KEF Q300s running through an Audiosource - Amp 100, fed by an ethernet wired Apple Airport Express. I'm running uncompressed AIFF files via iTunes.

What's my next updgrade, a DAC or amp? In comparing the Airport DAC to my Yamaha RX-V1900 DAC, the Airport sounds awful. I'm definitely leaning towards a DAC, but I wonder if people have other suggestions.

Regards,

It sounds like you have done some critical comparisons already and have idenified a system weakness that you know can be improved. I would follow that lead and get a DAC that you know something about or have heard. The audition is always the single best advice you can get.
