Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm not posting in the wrong category.
My name is Gustavo I'm from Argentina and this lockdown (63 days so far...) made me think about my set up.
Currently I have a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors v7 on Isoacoustics ISO-155, hooked up to a Yamaha AX396, connected to my PC through a Dragonfly Cobalt. I also have a modest Sanyo turntable that I got rewired and restored and an old Technics CD player a friend gave me, but I'm ok with them.
I mostly listen to my ripped FLACs and Tidal. I used to have Roon trial for a couple of months, but now I use MusicBee. Tried Audirvana, JRiver, Foobar, Mediamonkey, Amarra and Plex but none of them managed the library like Roon did and the Tidal integration was heaven to me. I mostly (almost exclusively) listen to Metal.
Anyway, I was thinking if there's something on the setup I could upgrade to get the most of it. Sometimes there's no need to overspend money and that's what I'd like to avoid by asking this community.
What would you recommend to change, the speakers or the stereo amp? Maybe none, honestly, I like what I hear. But since I lack the technical knowledge maybe I'm missing something and I can improve my experience.
Also if you have any suggestion to a Roon alternative, please let me know
Thanks in advance
