DAC or Upgrade To MX150 From D2V??


My setup includes Nautilus 802's, a pair of Mcintosh MC303's and an Anthem D2V. When I listen to 2 channel audio from my Sonos (all ripped lossless of course) in Stereo, the audio is lackluster on the Anthem. I had a much better sounding preamp before so I know how good it can be, but alas I sold it and now have to deal with what I have, and trust me, I've tried everything. What do you think, should I purchase a good quality DAC and run the two channel via the (purportedly very good) analog direct on my D2V, or break down and get the Mcintosh MX150? Appreciate everyone's thoughts!

Keep burning it in Allen bh...I definitely noticed differences like you do at 100, and at 200. I'm probably around 275 or so now, and it seems to have settled in well. Very nice DAC, very happy with it, no more brightness, very detailed, yet warm sounding, good bass.
