@navyachts If you are happy with what you got, you are there. Out there, here be dragons.
*DAC
I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pronounced. The strum of a guitar, the stroke of the piano keys, the clicks, ticks & tingles that accompany the music. I do here that now, I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more.
Is it the DAC that will make this happen? If it is, they say my Gustard R26 is as good as a $5K DAC, how far over that $5K do you think I have to go?
Thank you for your help and suggestions and the best to you all over the holiday season and beyond!
PS: I listen mostly to Jazz

@dz13 - thank you, but I do think I will upgrade my speaker cables at least. choices, choices, choices, lol! |
@deep_333 how about a Niagra 3000?? I only have 3 components to plug in and I see one just came up for sale on USAM for under $2K. It's 3 years old. |
@deep_333 any thoughts on how the Niagra compares to the Puritan line equivalents, like the 156 model? |
@navyachts , the 3000 should work just fine too...think of it as a sonic upgrade for all and any of your front end components and amps, including the Gustard (hence, a much better return on investment ). Make sure that you plug any power amps on the outlet dedicated for poweramps (with the current reserves), it should sound better than the wall when you play any demanding tracks. |
