Upgrade ....streamer or amp?

Putting all the political and economic discussion aside... and getting back to @troutbum 's original question....

The general concensus so far seems to be either a new streamer, new DAC or possibly a combination of both.  And there a benefits, and downsides, to all three.  Obviously, a $2000 streamer without a good DAC isn't going solve anything, visa versa.

The key is what is your acutal budget?

@fpomposo in the half truth department you win, none of what you said is true. You are making stuff up  

And unfortunately there is no such thing as purely american made, everything has components from all over the World, tariffs will affect everything in Target, Home Depot, Best Buy, wherever

@gano Wrong, I have 4 divisions with 40,000 sku's that have zero offshore content 100% American . Bless your heart.

Enjoy your Easter.

And unfortunately there is no such thing as purely american made, everything has components from all over the World, tariffs will affect everything in Target, Home Depot, Best Buy, wherever

I bet I can spend days and weeks in those stores or anywhere in the mall to find something that only has US components. 

We are all paying dearly, regardless of whom we voted for

@gano you sure get sidetracked, Squirrel.
