Hi experts,
I am looking at upgrade options for my below set up:
1)Source: FLACS on WD TV ( POP, Jazz, Hindi,Telugu Filmi Songs, Indian Classical)
2)DAC: Maverick Audio -Tube Magic D2
3)AVR: RX V667 ( 5 Ch Bi Amp) 90 W / Channel So 180 W with Bi Amp
4)Speakers- Floor Standers: Tannoy DC6T SE
Speaker Specs:
Recommended Amp Power: 20-200 Watts RMS
Freq Resp: 30 HZ- 35 K HZ
Sensitivity (db/w/m)- 90
Crossover : 1.7 KHz
5)Profigold Optical and Inter Connects, MX - HDMI cable, MX 11 SWG and 12 SWG speaker cables
My room is not ideal it is a living room 21X18 with doors and windows on all sides. I listen at very low volumes so peak power is not a requirement.
Given the above what would you recommend as the first priority for an upgrade? (Around 50 K budget)
a)A Sub around 30 K
b)An Amp around 50 K
c)Better DAC I hardly notice any difference between my existing DAC and the inbuilt DAC of the Yamaha AVR
d)Better Player than WD TV - Say PCH or a CD player. This doubt keeps nagging me and I am unable to come to any conclusion.
So the query is which component I should add/upgrade next. For Ex will it make any difference to add a Power Amp or an Integrated Amp costing 50 K? Or if there has to be a noticeable difference do I have to increase the budget?
I do understand that for some a Sub is a must and for others a Sub is a No No in a stereo system for music. I was contemplating adding a sub also for the movie experience.
Looking forward to your inputs / thoughts/comments.
Thanks
