How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax

I have one of the first generation Linn Klimax Renew. The audio board is the later revision with Dynamik power supply.

I have no compliant, but what to get a sense what is the next step in sound quality? I know I can always step up to the latest Linn Klimax, but the cost is prohibitive.

The rest of the gear is Harbeth M30 and Ayre AX-7e

Have you heard the Ayre?

Did you actually hear the Ayre or just assuming it won't be as good because its less money? Sorry, but I ask because so many people make assumptions based on price.

Then why waste everyone’s time with senseless questions? You already have your mind made up, so you'll get upset if someone gives you a different answer than the one you want. I've heard the Linn many times, and like everything they make, its over priced and over rated.

Kimax Renew was in the same price range as Bricasti, so I'm not sure where the over priced / over rated comments came from. "

I don't know why you would expect me to compare the Linn with some other random dac just because its close in price. Probably because it got good reviews. I don't waste mt time reading them.
