Time to upgrade my PS Audio Quintet

I currently own a PS Audio Quintet and while it works well, I am hoping to find something that adds more transparency and reduces grain. My primary components are;

Exposure 2010S2 Integrated Amp
Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD/SACD Player
Dell Laptop / Wavelength Proton DAC
Spendor A6 Loudspeakers
Analysis Plus Interconnects and Speaker Cable
DH Labs Power Cords

I have the Exposure plugged straight into the wall and everything else into the Quintet. As I mentioned above, my main goal is to take the edge off the system. While I care about frequency extremes, they are not as important as a natural, transparent, uncolored midrange. Anyone who's used a Quintet and moved to something better, what is it? Around $1500.00 or so is my budget.

Products I am considering;

PS Audio Power Plant Premier
Shunyata Hydra & Guardian
Synergistic Research QLS 6 & 9

Thanks,

John Allen

My first suggestion is to try a Synergistic research Teslaplex($95.00) for your wall outlet. Second, a S.R QLS 6 or 9 is nice with a Tesla T2 power cord. You will notice a huge difference with those three upgrades. Then plug everything into your QLS. Your amp into the bottom outlet of the Teslaplex. Unless it sounds better in the QLS. What cord do you use for your power amp??
