Streamer vs. Cart upgrade (here we go again…)


I have a Clearaudio Concept TT with a Hana EH cart.  I run it through a Mc110z and Mc240 through Klipsch Heresy’s with REL subs.  I stream via blue tooth (audio engine B1).  I’m soliciting advice on whether I should upgrade to a Hana ML or spend that money on a Wiim Ultra and Denafrips Potus II DAC.  I love the sound of my TT, and I definitely hear the difference between my streaming and the turntable but records are expensive- wondering if the corner cutting is worth it.  Any thoughts?

You didn't state what service you use for streaming. But BT is about the worst quality you can get. Your TT & Cart are good, so invest in the streaming side. 

If you use Tida/Qobuz make sure you streamer will support it natively, meaning it will stream from the streamer, and your phone will just mirror/control the streamer. 

$2k will get you a nice streamer, with your other gear, think Cambridge Audio will sound very good. My system has Forte II's with a CA streamer it sounds just as good as my TT.
