Eddie, Buy a real nice power cord for the DAC be done with it. also same for the server
Is my DAC my weakest link?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this sort of thing. I recently bought the following system used:
Thiel CS2
Rotel RC-1070
Audionics BK-ST 140 (BT-2)
NAD 5000
Music Player II DAC
It sounds great and I am very happy with it. I am wondering, though, whether the Music Player II might be outdated. I know everything is old (hopefully some of it in a classic sense), but I have been wondering whether more recent technology might have greatly improved DACs. Would it be worth it to invest in a more recent DAC, and if so, what price point would be roughly commensurate with the system? (i.e. no need to improve the DAC beyond the capability of everything else).
I stream Tidal HiFi through Audirvarna Plus to the DAC.
Thank you for your insights!
