upgrade advice


Hi
i bought the Hegel h160 integrated amplifier with pair of Spendor D7 loudspeakers.
the source is bluesound node 2 .
speakers cables are VOVOX vocalis. all other cables are regular.
i want to upgrade my sound and wonder what would be the best way to start.
to change my power cable,my digital cable,speakers cable or buy a better external DAC  than the hegel internal.
thaks for your advice

do you think that buying the sim audio mind  180 stremer can be very good upgrade instead of bluesound?
Looking at the update process of the sim audio mind its crude compared to the bluesound node 2.  I would agree that the internal DAC of the node 2 is not great however, it will play MQA which many external DACs will not.  Connecting the node 2 to a higher end external DAC will definitely an upgrade.  I have my node 2 going through a Wyred Remedy to a Modwright Elyse DAC and it sounds amazing.  The node 2 will stream CD quality from Tidal and HD tracks you may have on a local NAS, Sonos players will not stream HD.
sim audio is a streamer without dac so i thought its a good option to connect it to the hegel internal dac. a future upgrade can be buying external dac instead of hegel internal or upgrade to hegel h360.
buying the wyred remedy is a bit problematic since i have to spend $400
without trying it first since there is no dealer at my country.
What exactly is different in your set up to the store you listened at? If you purchased all the named items from them (Spendor, Hegel, Bluesound, Vovox), I’d look at everything else first. If the dealer has/had the same set-up I’d think they’d have the best suggestion as to where to start, but your room (over or under-damped), speaker placement, ’clean’ power & your cables are all going to be--and remain--influences regardless of what else you change.

I'm following this thread with great interest since I'm on a similar upgrade path except I'm using the Bluesound's internal DAC and streaming HiFi Tidal wirelessly. The funny thing is when I asked a while back, most folks seemed to think the Bluesound DAC was fairly decent. I guess it's all relative. Does any of the components mentioned above allow wireless streaming?

Question for OP: Have you compared the Bluesound internal DAC with your Hegel DAC? Just curious.

Thanks.
