I don't agree here. The OP seems to have a frequency response issue, and didn't like his original bass all that much. A new dac is _not_ going to make cheapish speakers suddenly able to give good bass. Simply won't happen. A good sub will, and if it's a really good one like the rel, it can stay in the system through many upgrades.
The power supply thing is certainly _not_ a magic bullet, in my experience. Got some elpacs cheap on ebay, stuck one in my system: neither I nor any of my friends can tell the difference. YMMV, of course. Yes, there are dacs that sound better, even lots better. No, I don't think that would be a good place to start in this system. The sub _will_ give better bass, no question. And it can still be around later if/when the OP buys a lavry/benchmark/mytek/citypulse, whatever. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32128 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
