Streamer/DAC

Hello guys, man do I enjoy my McIntosh system, but looking for a minor/major upgrade in my streamer. Hopefully, you guys can help me out

I’ve commented in this forum a few times before. Please, any negativity towards my system/Layout can you keep it to yourself

Thank you very much for that.

I have:

Mcintosh C53, pair of McIntosh 601’s, pair Martin Logan Renaissance 15a’s and a Bluesound node 2

I Don’t really want to invest in a new DAC. I think the one in my McIntosh C53 is adequate enough

Question is, if I invest in a new streamer can I expect major improvements in my sound, and if so what would you recommend

Dirac Live resolves the soundstage with improved clarity and intelligibility with all instruments and vocals. With the room correction aspect you'll experience deeper and tighter bass free of resonances throughout the listening area, with greater transparency and the removal of distracting artifacts. The miniDSP SHD Studio is a good example of a streaming high definition digital audio processor for users who wish to retain their existing DACs. Dirac Live uniquely combines frequency response correction as well as impulse response (time domain) correction in the digital domain. Fixing time domain anomalies is an impressive advancement for any audiophile system. The downsides are the increased complexity and effort needed to fully integrate Dirac Live, and also you may prefer he Bluesound NODE 2 user interface. Deer Creek Audio is an authorized miniDSP SHD Studio dealer.
