Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion??
I doubt the dac is your problem. I have heard it and to my ears it doesn't put me to sleep. You also have a nice transport. I love my Muse Model 9 Signature Gen III CDP.I suggest you start upgrading to an amp and preamp and then start with better ... 
AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra?
The cord from the wall to your Hydra will give you the most signature so choose carefully. The Shunyata Helix cords will set the soundstage back some or more middle row and the non-helix cords are more front row. At least that is what I experienced. 
Mark levinson 30.5 and 31.5 vs todays cd playerrs
I do agree their current line of 400 series amps is something to be desired. I don't know what they were thinking? Levinson used to build large beefy amps with nice big heatsinks. To me that is an amp, not one without them. 
Mark levinson 30.5 and 31.5 vs todays cd playerrs
It never ceases to amaze me how many Levinson haters there are. If someone does not like their products or should I say they already have a preconceived notion they won't, then the negative reviews unjustly fly. I have owned several ML pieces and ...

Which Cardas cable is the warmest?
The older Golden Hexlink 5C is not a bad one either.

Levinson 432 VS. Bryston 4 BSST
Consider a 334. Very nice amp. I have Tylers also and love them. Owned several Levinsons and had a 334 in my system on loan. Liked it much better than the 27.5 or 331. I also borrowed a friends 4BST and did not like it at all. To much energy for m...
