Has your system evolved in the past 10 years?

For me going back 10 years I switched from a CD player, that died, to using Dacs just two and I still use the 2nd Dac (once it returns from being refurbished). New speakers in that time frame also and a new streamer. Also cycled through lots of cabling. And I just a few months ago had to replace my 20 year old amp, with a different 20 year old amp. So yes pretty different but more an evolution than revolution.

In my main system only the Quad ESL 63 main speakers, a modified Michell Orbe SE turntable (with updated arm and cartridge), and MD FM tuner remain.  The rest is new and improved.

I was already in the process of turning from ribbon / planner speaker systems and a very details up front sounding system (I called “reference”)… to more natural musical sounding system. So ten years ago I had: ARC preamp and Phono stage, Pass x350 amp, Sim Moon DAC + external power supply and Sonus Faber Olympica speakers.

With this in place… indicating to me that i was the right path forward I swapped or upgraded all components to Audio Research Reference. With that incredible DAC in place… upgraded my streamer several times from a MacBook to the flagship Aurender and speakers to Sonus Faber Amati Traditional and upgraded my turntable from VPI to Linn. By an order of magnitude the biggest sound quality improvement I made in the last 50 years.
