Spending a month's salary

@vonhelmholtz AnaDioLog posted a follow up video review comparing the DAC 200 and Holo May in more depth. Unfortunately, while the DAC 200 offers six different DAC filters for the users to choose from, he decided to go with the most basic NOS filter. As a result, user comments are polarized between the two DACs. T+A put a heck of a lot of effort in the two “Bezier” upsampling filters and is a contributing characteristic to both its quality and cost. The fact that these are ignored in the reviews in my opinion undercuts the capability of the DAC, and I lost a bit of respect in the reviewer for not even considering or mentioning them. With them enabled, I think the DAC performance steps up even further by a significant margin. 

Having owned a Audiostore and 40 years in Audio ,here my recommendation For synergy .

Your source makes or breaks your system , and your speakers equally important 

buy the excellent Marten Oscar duo standmounts , and maybe a Svs SB-4000 powered sub with great app, for digital  if youhave the funds the T+A 200 dac, if-not 

the Denafrips Terminator-2 dac  a excellent duo just look up the reviews !!

If you get larger speakers, you will  NEED anproper amp

those small tick turd amps will do nothing and you,will clip them, even at medium volume. 
it may sound fine, but turning the knob will stress the amp, most likely fry a tweeter or mid. 
had low powered receivers, clip, clip. 
 

min 250-300 rms WPC. 
 

plus, WHEN you upgrade speakers, your all set with power./ current is better than watts, for some speakers. 
 

if I had 15-20 thousand dollars….re.wow

a good solid amp 300 WPC. At 8ohm

9500 nice speaker pair, 

flagship Rotel CD player, 

6k on a digital audio converter?? Your buying hype and a name. 
 

grab a top tier CD player or UDP PLAYER. 

good cables, nice solid 8-10ga wire. 
you won’t hear a difference from a transport to a 6K dac or a top of the line Rotel or bryston CD player. 
 

speakers, amp, disc player, cables

you may hear extended bass on speaker in corner, put a couple pillows behind, or a bass trap. 

What is wrong with what you have? Parasound and revel are two nice brands...

Spend 3-4k on room treatment, get advice from gik, a pair of Fritz and a Luxman integrated
