i would agree with the dac suggestions. i have spent the last few years adding better cables, better room treatments, better tweaks. i got some good results. but two weeks ago i replaced my music fidelity v-dac with a emotiva xda-1 because it had 6 inputs for flexibility and it changed my system from ok sounding to pretty remarkeable. i'll spare the flowery language but i now have a image that is 3 dimensional.
What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice?
So, in a qualifying question for the First World problem department, here's my current system:
1. Triangle Titus 202 monitors
2. Rotel 1072 cd player
3. Sophia Electric Baby Amp (upgraded caps, etc; new tubes 10w/ch)
4. Mapleshade speaker cables
5. Nordost IC's
Which component to upgrade? Or should I be happy with the sweet little system I have and deny the audio bug any further entrance? I like my sound, but it's still a bit too little of a presence than I'm looking for.
Any advice? Budget is under $1000
Thank you in advance.
