Streamer vs. Cart upgrade (here we go again…)

I have a Clearaudio Concept TT with a Hana EH cart.  I run it through a Mc110z and Mc240 through Klipsch Heresy’s with REL subs.  I stream via blue tooth (audio engine B1).  I’m soliciting advice on whether I should upgrade to a Hana ML or spend that money on a Wiim Ultra and Denafrips Potus II DAC.  I love the sound of my TT, and I definitely hear the difference between my streaming and the turntable but records are expensive- wondering if the corner cutting is worth it.  Any thoughts?

Yep time to invest in streaming.  Vinyl has gotten ridiculously expensive.  I only have about $3.5K invested in TT and stage and double that in streaming and it sounds as good or better than my vinyl set up.

I might have a talk with my local dealer about this

before I pulled the trigger on the WIIM and accessories.

My recommendation is to improve your streaming. Bluetooth is not helping your sound at all. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

WiiM is only OK. I would look jnto something better. What’s your total budget for this?
