New equipment

Generally speaking, the better the system/room sounds, the more I enjoy the music. I believe that's what I spent all that money on. 

And I do really enjoy it. My new Benchmark DAC 3 DX is sounding nice, and I don't really know how to use it yet, but that's part of the fun.

Best Regards,

Dan

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you are considering replacing a piece, always try to get a long term audition of it in your own system and room so you can properly evaluate the change it is going to make.  After a week or two your relationship with the changed sound will have bedded down.

Listening to a different system or component the first time for a short period very often gives a false positive impression simply because the sound is different from your present system.  Many dealers have sold many pieces taking advantage of this effect.  Ask for a long term audition.  More often than not, different is not better.
