biggest jump in your performance will be in better performing speakers, then amplifier, source might slightly help by going to a non-pc server/player.
Next jump in performance
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and would like to seek your experise on couple of question:
My current system is consist of:
PC (I7 + 980ti + decent mobo+PCIe SSD+ dual LCD monitor) which mainly use for music + gaming(dota)
Ifi iusb 3.0
Yggdrasil
Audio-gd M9(Headamp + preamp)
Augio-gd M3(Speaker Amp)
Harbeth M30.1 and LCD-X
I mostly stream music through tidal.
Cable consist of decent USB/speaker/power cord cable. I got a furutech Ftp-615 and cheap belkin power strip with some filter/surge protector function. All the audio stuff are plugged into the furutech Ftp-615. All the computer stuff is plugged into the belkin power strip.
I would like to improve my system and considering server route for it.
1/Improve the power conditioning on my system:
My situation is that i cant install dedicated lines for my audio room due to housing constraint. So should i go for a power regenerator like P10 or isolation transformer like Torus RM15/RM20?
Would i get any benefit if i plug my computer into the P10 or Torus? or should i just plug all the computer stuff into the furutech once i got the P10/Torus?
2/Improve my transport:
Should i buy a Lumin U1 to go with my yggdrasil or create a CAPS with JCAT/LPS/AO/Fidelizer as i still have a spare computer with decent spec(I5/SSD).
3/What others option you guys can suggest? New amp/DAC/Speaker/Anti-vibration?
Really appreciate your input
