What would you do?

My current system: Aerial 7Ts, Parasound A21 amp, Parasound P5 preamp, Wireworld Silver Eclipse interconnect from preamp to amp, Wireworld Gold Starlight 7 digital cable from NAD 565bee CD player to preamp, Wireworld Silver Electra Power cords, and PS Dectet power conditioner. Room treatment with GIK, room is 20'x 24'.

My options are to get new speaker cables, to add a JL Audio F112 or is a new source the answer?

I ordered a PS Audio PerfectWave DAC II.

Denydog,

Regarding cables and everything that I purchase, I set a price range that I makes me feel comfortable. Believe it or not, with the exception of my speaker cables, every cable that I have falls within the $300 price range. Even my speaker cable was purchased way below list price.

That's cool with the cables. If I had extra money I would buy some fancy cables just for the looks, as mine are very plain looking (Blue Jeans)

The PerfectWave DAC should be great.

Most definitely in your case I would get a new source.

But to make recommendations I need to know your budget.

The ultimate DAC in terms of resolution I have heard is the new PS Audio Direct Stream which guys out my way are going ga ga over. Be wary however its quite sensitive to source quality if you system is very revealing. At a lower price point I would look at a Wired For Sound.

Also its important to be sure resolution is what you really want. To find out I would suggest a comparison between the Direct Stream and Lampazator of the Dac's you are likely to be able to get a hold of. I haven't heard a Lampizator personally, but by reputation it very similar to my DAC, a Killer, which is very musical. You need to hear the difference to know what suits you best.

Thanks
Bill
