Hello everyone!
In a bit of a dilema here. I currently do not have a DAC in my Hifi System - and have got some v old speakers and I am looking to upgrade something to increase sound quality:
Amplifier: Marantz PM6004
Interconnect: Chord Chrimson Plus
Speaker Cable: Chord SilverScreen
Speakers: Wharfedale Diamond 3's (1980's)
DAC: Non-existent. But do have a £40 External Sound-Card.
I play music from my computer (Spotify) via. an external sound card (Creative Surround X-Fi) in my bedroom (4m x 3.5m) which has inclining walls (if that makes a difference!).
My question is: Should I upgrade my speakers first, or buy a DAC of which I do not currently have?
I have been looking at the HRT Music Streamer II / DacMagic (100)? Alternativly some KEF Q300's or Wharfedale 10.2's?
Any help here is much appreciated. Thanks,
Charlie.
