change to ARC Dac 7?

Would changing my ARC CD 3 Mk 2 with the addition of an ARC Dac 7 be a worth while upgrade? Would I be gaining just an incremental benefit or would it be a large enough benefit in resoulution,sound staging, and overall responce to warrent that type of change or would I be better off looking in a different part of my system if I were to make any change? If you've done this change your opinin would be very welcome as to the differences you've experienced. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, these are questions only you can answer. We all know about the laws of diminishing returns in this hobby. How much money you are willing to spend chasing incremental benefits is solely up to you. Sorry.

You are very welcome, we all need a little reminder now and again. Reviews tend to glow, that's their purpose, to move product. I'm not saying not to improve your system if you want, but be cautious, there are a lot of sharks in these waters that we swim in.

Yes, many times you can gain a lot more from playing with speaker toe-in or placement than you can buying a new gizmo. There's nothing wrong with buying a new gizmo if you want to, it can be fun to play with new stuff. Just mind the glossy rags, their purpose is designed to motivate buyers and move product, NOT to be used as useful information.
