First post for a long time lurker...
My system is as follows:
Raspberry Pi with IQAudio Pi-Dac+ > Atlas Element interconnect > Sugden A21a > Atlas Hyper 2.0's > Neat Motive SX3's
Up to recently I was running Rega RS1's - which I loved, but were lacking some low end when paired with the Sugden. The SX3's sound like much bigger speakers (they're not) with much more low end extension, however they seem to be missing some 'edge'. I'm not sure which adjective to go for here, but it's in the air, top-end, clarity realm; they're possible a bit too smooth? Now I am aware that perhaps it's just revealing a lack in my source dac (TI PCM5122) so I have another on the way (Sabre 9023) and a better PSU... HOWEVER: is there anything else I should try to improve things? Cables??
