Hear hear!If you truly want sound upgrades, I would look at replacing your speakers. Streamer, dac and amp can give great flat response and state of the art snr plus noise but all that would mean nothing if speaker is a bottleneck. They give minimalist in return. Whatever brand is your favorite, get to the next level up or if you can afford their flagship. I have combined many different gear but every time I choose higher quality speaker is just gives you higher level quality sound.
