Better DAC or better Streamer

Hello,

Which is better upgrade between the two?

1.  Chord DAVE DAC.

2.  Nagra Streamer. 

I am currently using Chord M Scaler with Hugo TT2 DAC.  Also using Astell&Kern SP3000 DAP for streaming the music.

Thank you,

The Aurender 100 is so different it is unreal. The Aurender is leagues better... the SP2000 sounding dry and flat.

@ghdprentice Thank you, sir.  I am about to pull a trigger on Dave yesterday but will wait.  I will definitely go back and listen with different speakers again.

I ended up with Dave and Mscaler couple months ago and really happy with it.  Next will be streamer.  Thank you everyone.

congratulations @OP. 

After you get settled with that, after the streamer acquisition, in time, look up this at-home remastering software, and read some of the testimonials - it was developed for the Dave by Dave users, and is a component level upgrade for it and other compatible DAC's, like my T+A DAC200. One needs to get over the hurdle of getting a good computer and plenty of storage for files, but it is worth it. My remastered redbook CD's sound better than 24/192 Qobuz files.
