SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
Another vote for speaker cables first. Got these Kinki Studio Earth Speaker Cables and will keep. HIJIRI great for sure despite a full loom costing as much as some cars. @audioman58 Hymn. I always wondered if the spider web jumble of wires in ba... 
Music first or sound first?
+1 @wolf_garcia    Nothing beats live music in a good room.  So there’s that too.   
Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!!
@jasonbourne71 I know. I was trying to get OP and hater of all things Apple 🍏 (evrn granny Smith?) to acknowledge that this is just another flavour of s DAC. And let’s not mention it’s computer based too.

@deep_333 To be clearer, I mean a DAC still doesn't smooth out into analog all those ones and zero's one hundred percent but only this "C Wave technology" does?????  A DAC changes digital signal(s) back to analog.....so isn't "C Wave technology" ...

So a DAC is still lacking?   
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
Think pink  
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
@kairosman IMO it won’t be long before digital becomes indistinguishable from analog. it’s arrived        
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
Used Lumin X1. 7-8k. Great pkace to start/stay Aurender too.  A lot of info these forums helping w/ the whole chain. Router/swiches/fillers/cabels all help and are important to SQ. Worth the cost.   
Going Tubing
There are some excellent intergrated (tubed) and that might be the way to go. $eriously. (You’ll need some serious bucks for all separates.) Here are a few.,,,, PrimaLuna EVO 400 Tube Integrated Amp. Manely Rodges High Fidelity (I have and hav... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
+101 @kairosman The whole is equal to the sum of its parts.   
Streamer only
A Bluesound Node w/ a LPS (Small green computer) because the app to run it is easy to use. The App is an important component. This is a bit over 1K and vey good,

@calvinj  They explain it far better than my fumbling. In this price zone the differences are subtle and like I keep on about, it's the gear and room that matter the most.

@calvinj The Weiss is feature rich (with presets) including a vinyl filter that I have feathered in just a bit. Skipping all the usual superlative verbage excepting it punches above it’s price using it along with the Grimm MU1 doesn’t make me wish...

The Weiss Dac 501 is excellent. So are all their products. The minute it was on was a wow. (The 501 is also a Roon endpoint.) That's how I knew.. or was the streamer or something else? The Grimm MU2 (I have not heard yet) looks to be an excellent... 
Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s
Also another vote for a Rogers High Fidelity EHF-100 MK2 Tube Integrated Amplifier LIFETIME WARRANTY can be had for less by calling them. Ebay takes 13% Hint. And this Air Tight ATM-2 Power Amplifier Tube Type High Power Amplifier  would be great...
