How can I start to change the system?


First of all, I must to say that I don't speak English well. So please keep that in mind. I live in Lima, Peru.

I have the following:

DVD player Rotel RDV 995 (working like an audio transport)
One Coral Cable interconnect (working like a digital cable)
DAC California Audio Labs Sigma II
AudioQuest Jaguar Interconnect
Integrated Amp Rotel RA01
AudioQuest CV6 Speaker Cables
Triangle Comette 202 Speakers

I enjoy this system a lot but I would like improve it. I was thinking about buying an tube amplifier and I wonder if I must buy another component before.

Any opinion?

Let me start by saying that your written English is excellent -- better, infact, than some of the posts by our members.

There are two sets of opinions about building a system: start with the source components, or start with the speakers. If one has a fairly balanced system (all components of roughly equal quality), I'd upgrade the system in the following order:
1. the speakers;
2. the preamp;
3. the source components;
4. the interconnects and speaker cables.

Of course, if you are happy with your current speakers, then I'd think about replacing your integrated amp as the first step.
One inexpensive improvement might be to go to a purpose built digital interconnet like the Kimber illuminati which can be had used for about $100USD.
Do the room first if you haven't already. What you'd spend many thousands on in components can probably be done for hundreds if you haven't done room treatments yet.
You can mak the system anyway you want with reflective / absorbtive panels and bass traps.
