What should I upgrade

Hello,

I'm putting this here because I'm not sure of where to put it. I have a very modest system.

-NAD C162 pre amp
-Aragon 2004 amp
-Emotiva XDA-1 DAC
-Squeezebox Touch/Sonos pulling files off of an NAS
-Silverline Minuet Supremes
-Rel T3 sub, which I actually rarely use

I really like my system, but am kind of getting an itch to get something different. The speakers are pretty much here to stay for a while. So far, they're the best for me, considering my space/placement limitations.

I think I'm also going to stick with the SBT and Sonos. I really like the convenience of not having to deal with disks. I have grand kids.

So, given what I have for a pre, amp and DAC, what should I upgrade that will probably give me an appreciable improvement?

Thanks,
Tony

If you really like your system, perhaps you can just enjoy the music and not tinker with it - human beings have this psychological need to venture out and experience something new, and this can get costly in hifi real fast. You know about the law of diminishing returns - higher you go, the less satisfying will be your returns, unless you spend much much more... 06-03-13: Liquid-smooth

I'd say listen to Liquid-smooth. I agree, if you like your system, enjoy it. When you begin to tinker there are no guarantees of anything except that you'll be spending money. I've observed that upgraditis often occurs because of dissatisfaction with the system. You really like yours; be happy for a time.
