This group represents the collective hiding wisdom of the universe. I would love to tap into that to help with a decision. I have an opportunity to upgrade a piece of my system. Should I replace the preamps? Should I get a streamer/dac? Should I replace my computer, dac and pre with a Brooklyn Bridge?
Current system (in order of signal flow):
-Mac mini music server (external thunderbolt drive) running audirvanan and streaming Qobuz
-Supra USB cable
-Matriz X-Sabre Dac (Lava Caldera power cable)
-BEL The Wire P1 interconnect
-Jungson Hedo Class A Preamp (Lava Caldera power cable)
-BEL The Wire P1 interconnect
-BEL
1001 MkV mono blocks with stock power cables
-BEL S24 speaker cable
-Magnepan 1.7i
All power comes through Richard Gray equipment
I am looking at a Doge 8 Clarity, RME ADI-2 DAC FS, Brooklyn DAC +, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The Bridge would be a financial stretch, but would replace all three pieces most likely.
I enjoy DSD so if I go with a DAC pre it must have analog volume control.
Advice?
