I am thinking of looking into doing a small upgrade to my stereo kit. Current setup is Leema Pulse III amp, Audiolab 8200CD CDP and Monitor Audio RX6 speakers. Interconnects are of the Chord variety. I mainly play music from NAS and Sonos ZP90 connected into the Leema Pulse DAC and CD's through the Audiolab CDP but find i slightly prefer the sound through the NAS and Leema DAC. I do not intend to lose or change the CDP.
Based on the above, what could be the best pointers to look at for a single improvement to my sound setup?
Upgrade the speakers? If so to what? I have wondered about looking at the Monitor Audio RX8 or maybe even higher up the range.
Upgrade the amp?
Change the amp and get a Audiolab M-DAC?
Or even keep the amp but still get a Audiolab M-DAC?
Music tastes are Dire Straits, Caro Emerald. The Airborne Toxic Event, Imelda May, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac. Amy MacDonald. Melody Gardot, Adele, Tangeine Dream, Pink Floyd, Scissor Sisters, etc etc.
Bear in mind, I only want to do an upgrade which will make a definite improvement. I know sound is a personal thing but your ideas will help point me in the right direction to look in.
Thanks
