Suggested Improvements for Set Up?

Looking for advice to improve my current set up, which is as follows:

Polk LSIM 707 (Left and Right)

Polk LSIM 706C (center)

Polk DSW MicroPro 3000 (sub)

Yamaha RX-A3020

Apple TV

Panasonic VT50

What would I get greater improvement from a DAC or separate power amp?

Set up:

Fronts are currently approx. 8 feet apart with 22 degree toe in

Sub is located between left and media cabinet

Center is on top of media cabinet

Any suggestions...

Definitely the amp. Your system isn't revealing enough to get the full benefits of what a new DAC will do for your system. I would leave it for last.

The 707s need a lot of power to perform at their best and that will require a separate power amp. Though rated at 150 watts per channel all the channels are drawing off the same power supply. A similarly rated (or more) external power amp will definitely improve the 707s performance.

I think if you went with a good Pre amp/amp combo like Primaluna or Rouge Audio or Vincent Audio (there too many to list) ...the results could be a life changing event.Other than that,Spend the money on a good Oppo universal machine.This machine could be all you need for videos,streaming,Blue rays,Sacd,cd, playback.
