Ok, I admit it, I have upgraditis
Right now I have the following setup
PC (flac) -> Sonica (black gate mod) -> Custom Interconnect -> Pimeta (MisterX) -> CD3000 (AKG 271 for closed)
My alternate source is a cheap sony PCDP running into the Pimeta through it's line out.
I'm feeling that the CD3Ks are being let down by the rest of the system, especially in the bass area, so i'm wondering if an upgrade will make much difference. Do people think a source upgrade would help much?
My choices for source upgrade would be a PCDP (I can't have a full sized player at work, it'd look stupid) or a DAC vi the Soncas' bit-perfect optical SP-DIF output. Which would be best? My preference is for DAC, as I have a lot of music on FLAC, but I have the CDs too of course
Thoughts? Recommendations?
