So I have got the itch to upgrade my current setup.
Source: PC (Amazon Music HD)
DAC: SoundblasterX G6
Amp: Fosi Audio BT20A
Speakers: Sony SSCS5's
Sub : Sony Core Series 10" 115W Active Subwoofer
Headphones: Hifiman Sundara's
I have been quite happy with my current set up since upgrading from onboard sound and computer speakers and while most songs sound great coming through my speakers for the most part, I think some songs sound slightly veiled or muddy particularly rock. Maybe I'm imagining things, maybe its just the recording or maybe I'm crazy I don't know. Either way, I've decided I want to improve my sound. So I've been considering some upgrades but my god is there a lot choices. Here is what I'm thinking. I would appreciate any suggestions that would help me navigate this rabbit hole.
1st - Emotiva BasX A-100 Stereo Flex Amplifier (used) or BasX A2m Stereo Flex Amplifier (New) or Ayima A07
2nd - Geshelli Labs J2 Ak4493
3rd - Emotiva Airmotiv B1+ or ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 or Klipsch RP-500M
4th? Should I get a preamp or separate headphone amp? If So which one?
