Most impactful for playing soft

Hi, my system is primaluna evo 300 separates with b&w 702 signature speakers.  I normally play music from a blue sound streamer through a ps audio nuwave dac.  When I play my system loud it sounds great to me, but when I play it at volumes my wife can deal with it sounds a bit thin.  What single upgrade would people recommend in order to most directly address this low volume problem.  I listen to heavy metal, r&b, rap and jazz for the most part.

I have also observed the better the system, the better it sounds at low volume. Each tier up sounded better at lower volumes. I suspect that there is more to it than that. That a sub $100K system can sound great at really low volume. But I am unsure as to what it would be. But once my system broke $100K it started sounding spectacular at low volume.

Yes, best of luck. This sounds like a decade or longer search to find the key.
