I've had my 650s for about 8 months now and while I enjoy the experience, I still feel there's a couple of things I'd like to improve on:
- lack of kick. I think that comes from the smooth 650 sound and perhaps what people call the "veil" although I can't be really sure. I think I have the older 650 version (bought second hand)
- It lacks a bit of clarity/separation. I was thinking a cable upgrade might help with this. I was aiming for the Silver Dragon V2.
My current setup is Chaintech (WASAPI/optical) -> Beresford TC7510 -> Little Dot MKIII. Given what I feel is missing with the sound I get, what would you look at upgrading/changing the most? I have a feeling my DAC could be a lot better but I don't know. My budget is at the max $1000 but it needs to be something that will really elevate the sound to a new level. Perhaps waiting for the 800HD is the right way to go?
