*DAC
IMHO (from personal experience) the cable or power cord/vibration devices can be the issue. The good news is they are a lot cheaper to address. After spending $170 for a 1.5M Pangea coax (same specs as DH Labs @ $240) I tripped across a thread her... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
First I replaced PCs with Odin 2 on my dac/pre and EVS amp. They were fast but in my system a tad on the sterile sound. I replaced the EVS PC with Odin 2 Gold, also for my speaker cables. These are a much better match in my SS system. Dac/pre I am...

Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet?
@paqua123  I have a CDT 6000, not using the stock feet, resting on a 2" thick maple board, knockoff: Odin 2 coax + Odin Gold PC, plugged into a CorePower 1800> 20 amp dedicated line. If I have a weak link it might be the Odin 2 coax> I am a... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
Since my post in July 31 2023 I have been i search of a Odin Gold coax to compare to my Odin 2 coax cable. Finally located a Odin Gold coax + the Yangsane Silver looked too good to pass up, so yesterday I ordered one of each total <$100 deliver...

Weakest link in my system
Mad Scientist Audio's Graphene Contact Enhancer took my system to a whole new level of enjoyment. highly recommended  
Emerald Physics. 600 amp
I have a EVS 1200, Custom built from Tweak Audio. It is based on the same Icepower modules, except twice the power. Excellent amp. I saw a review somewhere on the 600.1 that was very positive. I think it was in Tone E-magazine. It should be a fore... 
Stand mount speakers to replace Magnepan 1.6’s
Do a search for Emerald Physics. I have 3.4s in a similar, but larger room than you, which are amazing (click on my name for Virtual System) OR if you are patient the new company from a excellent speaker designer Clayton Shaw ~ $3000  
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I was shocked at the improvement using Mad Scientist Graphene Oxide made. First I applied to just my coax cable, after which my chin dropped, then my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 dac/pre still grinning, then went all in  
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Kinda torn between my first hi-end speaker (Ed Long Time Alignment speakers" mid 1970s)) and Accoustat 2 + 2s ~ 1985. The Ed Longs were my first effort to improve speakers. I took them apart, replaced the OEM internal wiring, 5 coats of borosiliat...
