I was using an Oppo Bd-105 as my source and a Anthem Str-Integrated Amp with Focal Aria 936 speakers. Sounded pretty good to me. I had been thinking about upgrading the Dac portion of the amp. I was able to get a used SimAudio 680D Streamer Dac for a really good price. It's the most expensive component at the moment but it changed everything. The clarity and depth of the music soundstage etc. I'm sure when I upgrade the speakers and amp some day it will even be better.
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
I a considering splashing north of 5000 (euro) for a new source for my rig (MOOON 340i, OPERA QUINTA speaker, McIntosh SACD, Node2). Better to spend more for the DAC or the streamer ? I was thinking about a Schitt yggrasil.Or would it make sense to spalsh on a more expensive DAC and use the Node2 as a streamer, or, for that matter, stream from my Macbook Pro. Regards.
