Upgrade speakers or DAC

Always source you will be amazed that when you have a great source how much better your system will sound. The speakers can only produce what is feed to them.  We have used old box speakers KLH form the 70s and found that they disappear with a better source much to our surprise.

SPEAKERS Speakers are where the rubber meets the road

It's actually a toss-up. Upgrading your speakers will make the biggest difference in the sound of your system but you will not hear what they are capable of until you upgrade your source components. Conversely, upgrading your sources will make significant changes as well but to get the full benefits you will have to upgrade the speakers. This is why I always suggest that once your system is matched, leave it alone and enjoy the music. Otherwise be prepared for a trip down the rabbit hole.

When upgrading I tend to go with whatever the weakest link is at the time, and in your case I think the streamer is your weakest link by a good margin.  I’d encourage you to look at Aurender, Grimm, and Innuos as well.  Best of luck.

I would suggest you move up the Sonus Farber line. I am breaking in a pair of Amati G5’s and am really enjoying them.

All the best.

BTW,  what kind of music do you listen to?
