System upgrade
Posted by psgary on May 30, 2025 at 18:59:02:
After years of standing pat, all of a sudden I'm playing with the components in my system and replacing some of them. April of 2024 it was getting a Rotel CD11. That was essential due to the death of my Cary CDP.
Then last fall it was adding a Geshelli J3. And this past April a PS Audio PerfectWave Transport replaced the Rotel. Along the way were various power cords and digital cables.
Now I'm toying with the idea of getting a PS Audio PerfectWave DAC MkII. A good one has come up on the used market. This even though I love the J3. But when new, the PerfectWave Transport and DAC got rave notices as a pair.
Now I seek your view, dear Inmates, about whether to add the PerfectWave DAC or to upgrade my SS amp, which is the semi-DIY Life Force 55 and a fine piece of gear.
Would the DAC or an amp be a better upgrade? The range for an amp would be up to about $2k, new or used.
All opinions welcome.
Thanks.
