What to do: upgrade amp or buy pre-amp


Im very curious what my spkrs will sound like if i changed to an Audio Research Ref 210 monoblock setup OR buy the Ref 5 preamp? Currently running media PC via transparent digital Spdif to wyred for sound DAC to Levinson 331 amp to Dynaudio C4 with REL G2 for low freq. So what would you guys upgrade? Ill most lukely pickup whichever piece i don't buy in the next 6 to 12 months but don't want to splurge all at once.

Chenglo1 your WFS Dac has volume controllability, and is a perfect impedance match direct into your Levinson amp, and because the Rel is 150kohms input impedance this also can be driven via a Y connector from the WFS dac.

This setup should get you the most transparent sound possible, if you need to change the sound a bit just try different interconnects or speaker cable to achieve this.
