Plus 1 on upgrading DAC & streaming system.
Several approaches in and around a DAC upgrade today. If one you like does not support some file types or bit rates, another streaming device may be in order, like Aurender, Micro Rendu, etc.
Sifting thru Power Cords with a new DAC could be interesting and an area I would recommend exploring, with any new DAC.. actually, with any new anything.
Avoiding the device upgrades, getting into cabling ‘alone’ may help you massage the already engaging system but that’s all it will do given your input on its present level of enjoyment. You’ll merely explor various kinds of ‘different’. Perhaps better, but mostly ‘different’.
Apart from the DAC proposal, speakers seem the most obvious choice, and the most expensive occasionally.
If its new speakers, merely keep the electronics matching now existing with your amp equivalent to or better than what your current speakers enjoy and all should be quite well. Naturally, you can simply forget about the elec pairing and buy whatever speakers, but that will ordinarily send you right back to the amp treadmill.
Enjoy.
