Agree with Elizabeth on if the OP hasn’t touched the AC, that might be a wise place to start. I was questioning if my CDP/DAC was becoming my weaker link as after the addition of a streamer I am listening to my system more than ever or at least to when I was a really young audiophile in the 80’s.
Recently I changed out my receptacles which I have dedicated circuits and my system really started to open up so I started playing with power conditioners and etc. which I purchased a couple with good results and that’s where that ended.
Next I started reading a lot on newer DAC’s and no doubt there’s better than what I have for reasonable money but recently visiting one of my local shops they offered I try at home a PS Audio P5 they took in on trade so I did. Well, to wrap this up I was floored how the P5 sounds or my system sounds and now and I’m in no rush to buy a DAC now.
I’ll probably drag a DAC home eventually but sure glad I did this purchase first. Preamp, CDP/DAC and Streamer only on the P5.
