I'm listening more through headphones (Senn HD600 and Cosmic/soon-- AKG -SAC 1000) than ever before. I've currently got the Cosmic connected to "tape out" of Musical Fidelity A220 Int Amp with my source being Arcam Alpha 5 cdp (circa 1996). I haven't tried connecting Cosmic directly to cdp (should I?).
I'm wondering where I might get the biggest bang for my buck if I upgrade any of the components. Should I consider getting a new cdp? amp? a DAC for the cdp? If I upgrade cdp, I'd like to keep it under $800 (to see what happens in the near future with any new formats). If I upgrade amp I'll have to wait awhile because I'm not sure I can significantly improve for much less than $1000.
