Exceeded: Switching from a Node2 DAC to Mytek Manhattan II DAC. Shockingly big difference in all aspects but then again price is ~10x.
Exceeded: Switching from stock power chords to Silnote Poseidon GL Reference Power Cables throughout my system. These are relatively cheap power chord upgrades as I wasn’t convinced PCs would make a discernible difference but man was I wrong.
Exceeded: Switching from Node2 streamer to dedicated network card in Mytek Manhattan. Not nearly as big of a difference as the DAC upgrade but clearly not just 1s and 0s either.
