Help me with the upgrade path


Over the last 12 months, I spent some significant (at least for me) dough on new speakers (Bowers and Wilkins CM10), amplifier (Parasound A21), and Digital Preamp + DAC (Cambridge Audio Azure 851D). I find myself listening mostly to digital content (CDs converted to digital via iTunes or Tidal --> Apple TV --> Azure DAC). I had been planning to upgrade the other components in the chain but wanted to let the $$$ shock sink in before splurging further.

So this year I’m allowing myself just one more upgrade for at least another year. Given the fact that I am using Apple TV, which is not considered the best choice for music, and non-expensive Audioquest speaker wires (I think I paid around $75 for an 8-foot pair), I wonder where I should put my money.

1. Replace Apple TV? I like the Bluesound Node 2 which sells for about $499

2. Better speaker wires? Leaning toward Clear Day Shotguns

3. Better power cords for the amplifier and DAC? No idea which ones would be a good fit for the A21

I understand that there are too many varying factors in determining the best upgrade, and too many system dependent variables, etc. -- but still some feedback would be great.

Wait, GIK is pretty! And colorful.  With top notch designer cloths and even custom printing!

Acoustic zen and mr lee are top notch . I run all az including adagios . I also run satori they are excellent ! And they are available here used often . It's were i bought mine , the interconnects are a little more challenging to find used . I run matrix 2 . The wows are good for the cash if ya wanna be more budget minded ( i didnt pick the names 😁)

treatment 
interconnects 
ac cables
spkr cable 
" isolation " I highly recommend star sound but not really budget oriented. 
Basically in order imo 


Make an offer and snag them ! I would be shocked if you didnt like them .. but remember cables change sound good or bad 

@arafiq - Oh, I did say that Oppo support Tidal.  However, I just figured out that it requires an IOS/Android device to stream Tidal.  So, you would need to use your iPhone / iPad / Android table or phone to connect to tidal and then use that to stream the audio to the Oppo player.  Just something to keep in mind.
