Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ?

@op…only since you asked, nuke the CC debt

@wideload With the Vandersteen 7 upgrade program to Extreme program underway, i expect many dealers might prefer to sell the 7 and order new Extreme… i would call around. Please note, i am biased as a 7 mk2 and 7 amplifier owner…blissfully immersive in the music…..

Best on your journey

I wouldn’t call Magico’s sterile... but cool, and smooth on the top end.

Still, given my multiple auditions of Magicos and the top end Vandersteen at a show, I’d stick with Vandersteen.

Don't know what speakers you have now, but treat the room before you upgrade speakers.

now that a used Manhattan ll can be had for under $4000 , you at least need to take a listen...

@jl35 I wish I had the opportunity to.  :) 

Pay off the credit card then apply for one of the zero interest credit cards for 12 to 18 months. Then buy the DAC of your dreams and you have a year to pay what you purchased it for. If you can’t pay it off in a year apply for another zero interest card and transfer the balance. There is usually a fee but it a lot less than the interest you’d pay or just plan for next years tax return to pay of the balance. This should save you almost 10% of the purchase price and then you can apply the interest you saved to more gear...

Money isn't going to help you with the end of days.  Ammo on the other hand
