upgrade advice

Hi
i bought the Hegel h160 integrated amplifier with pair of Spendor D7 loudspeakers.
the source is bluesound node 2 .
speakers cables are VOVOX vocalis. all other cables are regular.
i want to upgrade my sound and wonder what would be the best way to start.
to change my power cable,my digital cable,speakers cable or buy a better external DAC  than the hegel internal.
thaks for your advice

On the Wyred 4 Sound.  I will agree that a Wyred 4 Sound modified Sonus Connect can make an excellent digital transport.  Keep in mind that the Wyred 4 Sound mod will have one fixed output sampling frequency (they recommend 96Khz).  Also, keep in mind that the Sonus Connect does not have USB to allow connection of an external USB drive.  You'll have to stream files from a computer or NAS device.  But it does have Tidal, lol.  Wyred 4 Sound are selling upgraded new Sonus Connects for $890 ($340 for the sonus, which is a good price) - or you can buy used and send it in for upgrade.  It is not a DAC, just a transport, so you'll still be using the Hegel DAC (unless you also want to buy a new DAC).

Give your Node 2 a boost, insert a Wyred Remedy reclocker between it and your Hegel, it will make more of a difference than any of the cables mentioned here.

BTW, the Remedy is the same tech thats in the modified Sonos Connect.

thanks
do you think that buying the sim audio mind  180 stremer can be very good upgrade instead of bluesound?
