budget ? I have been through a bunch of dacs spending $5 k
andup isa substantial jump in musicality and naturalness,detail.
A excellent upgrade is the Bricasti M3 dac ,and a huge bonus is their Roon end point Streamer board with many trickle down technologies from their $$ dacs and all linear power supplies
and a bunch of upper end technologies using Ethernet cable is a big improvement and everything is filtered,isolated and converted
And 2 less cables,made in USA and quality throughout.
