Upgrade Amp or Speaker for 2 channel?

After you upgrade your front end, you may discover that your other components need upgrading also. Such is life. Have fun.

Today CDP should mean a great Digital to Audio Converter with a digital music server and internet radio to expand one's musical horizons. Look into products like Peachtree or Benchmark for a standalone DAC and Music Vault or Olive for the DAC/server. If you want to get involved for the least dollars Apple or Logitech make great wireless components.

Purchased a Grace internet tuner and set it up yesterday.Running a Toshlink through my old (1990) Denon DAC.
Sound is medocre.
Contemplating the DAC magic for both the radio streamer and my CD player.what you you guys think?

thanks,

What are you looking to accomplish? What area is your current system lacking with regards to your satisfaction? What is wrong with your system? What area do you want to obtain an improvement in and what is the improvement you are looking for?

If there isn't anything wrong with it, why upgrade anything?

I could easily recommend components to replace everything you have, that are better than what you have (to me at least). But unless you feel something is wrong, I wouldn't get on that merry go-round.

Think about the past 8 years (age of your equipment), what areas of equipment have seen real and noticeable improvements in terms of sound quality? Personally, at this level of equipment, my opinion is the digital front end. There have been some speaker and amp improvements, but much less so than the front end items.

But before deciding anything, I would think about what is lacking in your system so that you can better determine what you want to achieve by buying new stuff.
