with the Stable Platter technology to use as a Transport with my Musical Paradise MP-D1 24bit DAC with asynchronous. The DAC is really nice when streaming music from the internet but when I used my Sherbourn CD player there was something lacking even though I upgraded the CD player.

After I put I the Pioneer my CD section of my system sounds awesome and I now have no need to do anything else to the CD/Digital side of my system. So this is the example of what I mean there are other areas of the system to start looking into.

So my final DIY upgrade now is the speaker which I will be doing two sets of speakers. One will be the two way GPA (Altec) speakers with Zilch Z19 Xover and the other is a Small Line Array. Once those are completed, I'm done. No need to do any more to the system.

The preamp is a BAT VK-30 that is sounding awesome again after put some 6H23 tubes back in and the repair of my heater supply. That Preamp is just really nice so no need to mess with that.

My Amps (EDGE M8 and Counterpoint SA-12) have been fully upgraded so now need there.

All cables are DIY and sound awesome, so now I'm done with those too.

So these are just examples of where you need to look if haven't already. Your system will only be as good as the Front (sources) end will take it, so I would start to look there first. The DAC is set now. next up?

BTW, LINN recommends that starting with the Table/Cartridge > Phono preamp > CD Player > DAC > Preamp > Power amp > Speakers > Cables.

Hope this helps!
