Quick background: a few months ago I figured it would be nice to have music in my home office, so I bought a bunch of cheap stuff and pieced together a 2 channel stereo:
Elac Debut B6.2
Fosi TDA7498E desktop amp
Arylic S10 streamer/preamp
I plugged everything in and... I was absolutely blow away by how incredible it sounded for a $400 outlay.
Now I've fallen into the "this is great, but how can I make it better?" rabbit hole. For speakers, I'll eventually upgrade to Elac Uni-Fis, I'm really a fan of the Andrew Jones voicing. I want to replace the amp with a Aiyima A07, but my gut feeling is that I probably won't be able to hear a difference between the Fosi amp and the Aiyima.
That leaves the streamer: the Arylic stream has pretty bad numbers so my first though was to upgrade that with a Bluesound Node 2i. But after reading the reviews here--I'm glad I didn't fork out the money for the Node 2i, which would have costed more than the rest of my stereo combined.
If you were in my position: what would be the most logical upgrade?
