What should I upgrade first amp or preamp?

Thank you for your responds. I looked at ModWrite ipgrades befoere, however I'm not a big fan of tubes and prefer SS in all chains.

Why not upgrade power cords and add power conditioner which will be far cheaper than adding new component.

Most high end equipment has the potential of performing much better than what most audiophiles are getting out of their systems. I have done quite a number of experiments over the years using a range of cables, conditioning, tweaks etc. I have been amazed at the capabilities of even fairly low priced gear when the right supporting elements are in place. Sometimes it takes some patience, but in most cases major improvements can be made at very reasonable cost. I agree with Lapierre that keeping what you have and maximizing performance is the most cost effective way of making upgrades. As a starting point you might want to check the Mapleshade web site.

the other option is a new DAC to run your oppo to your pre.
You may also be able to add a couple of power cords and stay in budget.

I agree with the first couple of posts that changing the XA30.5 to either of the Pass monoblock models is not the path to follow. For one thing, given your relatively low listening volumes you are undoubtedly almost never driving the XA30.5 out of its class A operating region, much less approaching its class AB power limits.

Although perhaps the most significant improvement that would be realized by going to one of the monoblock models would be that they would allow you to use shorter speaker cables. But chances are that could be addressed more cost effectively by upgrading the cables themselves, or by paralleling a second run of the cables you are presently using. The relatively low impedance of your speakers (4 ohms nominal, 2.3 ohms minimum) makes speaker cabling a more significant consideration than would otherwise be the case, and even more so if your run lengths are longer than average.

Regarding the source component, Zd's recommendations are always extremely knowledgeable, but fwiw I would point out that according to the description of the BDP-105 at the Oppo website "the balanced output features a true differential signal path all the way from the DAC to the 3-pin XLR connector."

Regarding power cord upgrades, fwiw I recall several posts that have been made in the past by members I consider to be credible to the effect that Pass class A amps seem to be less sensitive to power cord differences than most other amps of comparable quality. Given the low impedance of your speakers, my instinct would be to focus on speaker cables before power cords, to a greater or lesser extent depending on their length.
