When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?


I will start- December 2015, a DAC (Bricasti M1)

As I've said in the past, I truly believe I am done in terms of buying gear, but more recently I finally merged my laptop with my DAC to explore hi-rez audio, which I am enjoying a great deal

Zavato I am with you on the Bricasti. My upgrade was the 2K Melco N 1 server, player. Stores 2 terabytes. I purchased a Buffalo CD Ripper that is made by the same company but sells for about $160 dollars. Much easier then burning to a laptop. Now while I listen to music I can burn CD's at about one every 4 minutes. Adds a lot of joy to my listening experience. 

Grogan unfortunately you are probably right about that. Divorce only leaves a person room for inexpensive upgrades and a bottle of booze.
Forgot to say my Melco is running into my Bricasti. Bricasti straight to Bricasti M 28's. Devine...sublime

My previous best upgrade was to the deHavilland UltraVerve tube preamplifier. At the time I was a dealer for Art Audio, Joule Electra, Atmosphere and had pre amps from all the above. In the hopes of finding a less expensive preamp I ordered an UltraVerve from Kara Chaffee. Well I got more then I expected. That little $2500 pre out performed all the above. What an eye opener that was. 

I think that was in 2006.
