Will an Amp change improve my system ?


My system is WiiM pro ( a great device for $149 !) and a Cambridge CXC V2 CD transport for digital input going into a Schiit Yggdrasil+ DAC going to a Schiit Freya+ preamp into a PS Audio S300 amp into Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers. I am considering replacing the S300 with one of the following: PASS XA-25, Coda S5.5, Benchmark AHB2, or tube Primaluna EVO 400, used Rogers EHF-100 or 200, used Luxman MQ 88uc. I like my current system and wonder if an amp change would improve it significantly ?

I have 2 Aegir v1's that are going to be my long-term amps for my bright headphones. The amps sound a lot like the KRELL DUO line. Sweet and smooth. So, the person I quoted above is saying the Wotan sound sweat and smooth but even better then the Aegir.

@carl292 I was watching Stoddard’s end of year video, and he talked about the next iteration of the Tyr. They are trying to get some new features that will make the amp a lot costlier. I get the impression that getting the discounted Tyr today will leave you disappointed if they get the uber Tyr done.

I was reading the comments on the link in posted above,

Maybe the Wotan is not ready for release. Not sure if the guy who posted one of the comments is truthful.

The discounted Tyr is looking more attractive now.
