Hi,
I’d like to improve my current av system. Actually my system is this one:
Denon X2300H avr,
Klipsch rp-280 front speakers
klipcch rp-440c center speaker
JBL scs 178 surrounds
SVS PB-12NDS subwoofer
Sony xf9005 full array led TV
M9201 streamer, a oppo OPD-205 clone
For cinema I’m quite happy how it works but I would like to improve music listening. I know that RP-280 speakers are not the best for music but I mostly listen to rock music and sounds nice. I used to hear music in “direct” move. To me, sounds better than stereo. The thing is that after auddissey calibration, I leave the front speakers in small. In stereo mode, the denon palys music from front speaker + sub. The result is not as good as in “direct” mode. Anyway, looking for improvement so I was thinking in two possibilities, 1st add a DAC to the system, I was thinking on topping e30. And 2nd one, change the receiver that has many years. Idea is to take something like denon 3700 or new onkyo with dirac. For sure in cinema mode I would get better result with second option, but do the 3700 or de new onkyo have better DAC (and music playing result) than a DAC added to my current sytem? I’ve never had a DAC and even I read a lot abut them, can’t estimate how much improvement do they gave.
Which option would you tka?
Regards
