how far do I have to go money-wise to get a real improvement.That's not the right question IMHO. You have to audition the gear in your system. I have a few excellent examples of less expensive DACs sounding better than more costly models.
To my ears the $1200* PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC sounds better than:
- Ayre QB9-DSD DAC [$3500]
- Luxman DA-06 DAC [$5000]
- Wavelength Brick USB v3 DAC [$2000 w upgraded power supply]
- Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC [$1600]*as low as $699 with the trade-in of the previous gen PS Audio DAC. I have owned all of the above examples in my system (and a few more not mentioned). Sound quality is not proportional to price. Same experience with other gear I have owned over the years.
