You don’t mention cables, but if you basically like the sound you have now, you might consider upgrading the IC between your amp and preamp and/or the digital cable unless they’re already top notch. Good cables can really open up the sound, giving you a better presentation of what you already have. Sometimes the lack of overtones could be due to a high noise floor, which better cables may help. Or not. When you buy without audition it’s always hit and miss. Good luck.
Upgrade DAC recommendation
My systems consist of:
McIntosh 601 Monoblocks
McIntosh C47 Pre Amp
Martin Logan Renaissance 15A Speakers
Node2 DAC
I’m bypassing the DAC in my Node2 and using the DAC in my McIntosh C47 My sound is good but I think I’m missing something and believe the sound can be tremendously better if I upgrade my Node 2 for a better DAC. I’m willing to spend up to $5k on a new DAC
Based on my system components, can you suggest a Better DAC that will take my sound Up to new levels
need lots of help
