What should I upgrade next in my system?


Would a music streamer be the best place to spend money?

+1 @deep_333 Think of the room as one of your most important components.

How bad is the 4K Apple TV streamer and Anthem processor I am currently using for Tidal, Qobuz, and YouTube Music? I assume pretty bad...

Better than Apple TV can be had for sure. Easy peasy.

Given your home theater set up @rickguild using a vendor to jigger your system might be the way to go. Most of us here are two channel sit in the chair and listen types. Period. There are some RtoR types but most members use vinyl and/or streaming. I’m all in on Grimm streamers (their one box combo or their unit with a stand alone DAC) too but at that level there are plenty of others just as excellent. But the room makes such a big difference. So there’s that.
