Upgrade advice from old NAD / Dynaudio system

[Pob64]

Hi,
My elderly current system is a FiiO M11 Pro DAC into a NAD 320BEE amp and Dynaudio Audience 42 speakers. I’ve moved to FLAC files of all my CDs and mainly Tidal streaming now.

I’m not sure what the weakest point is in my old set up but I’m thinking of a CA EVO 75 streamer and Dynaudio Emit 30 speakers.

Does this seem like a worthwhile upgrade and a good pairing?
Is the Emit 30 a good step up from my 20 year old Audience speakers (I’m very fond of them)?
Any better suggestions?

Many thanks…

The Emit 30 are floorstanders and entry level at that. If your Audiance 42 are still going fine I would keep them.

Although old, you have good speakers, and a good amp, if they work and you like them, stick with them! Add a streamer, never heard the CA, but it has a very good reputation.

If you are tempted to change your speakers, see if you can borrow a pair to do a comparison with what you have.
