Hi all, and thanks for the advice I've been getting as a non member browsing these forums.
Based on measurements from this site I've just replaced an old Denon mini system (DM-39) with a Wiim Pro into SMSL SU-1 dac into Fosi Audio V3 into my old Dali Zensor 1 speakers. The TV goes into the Wiim. This is my main system so needs to do music and TV. I'm currently using Amazon and Spotify for streaming.
Since installing a few days ago the sound is definitely different, perhaps more detailed, but I wouldn't say better. I know the Dali speakers can be a bit trebbly and I'm noticing that more now. The sound is crisp and clear but not always hugely enjoyable.
Perhaps I'm just used to a level of distortion and need time to adjust? I know this is very subjective but ideally I would like slightly warmer and fuller. So am I really saying slightly rolled off treble and more bass?
If I do decide I need to tweak the sound where would I be best starting?
New speakers? I'm open to this as I can use the Dali's as a second system elsewhere. Any views on the Q Acoustic 3030i to fill out the bass and tame the treble a bit?
Would I be better off getting an eq? If so what would be a good budget option?
Would switching op amps in the V3 have any benefit?
Would a little tube preamp just be silly?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
