I appreciate the responses from you all. The thing is...... I really know nothing about this stuff. I have a music back ground and trust my ear. I know my equipment is decent just working on moving up from the dragonfly. I know there is more to be had. I will look into the Topping and some others. Maybe work it out so I can try several at once returning which I don't like. Any other advice? Tubes? Xlr or Rca?
