DIGITAL UPGRADE DILEMMA

My most recent speaker upgrade - Revel F50s - has made a considerable improvement in sonic detail and range, but I'm still sensing a lack of "analog" presence and realism. I'm starting to think the culprit might be my source, even though I also recently upgraded my DAC. Other candidates include so-so interconnects and an older amplifier. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best place to start in rectifying this problem? Could I find an one-box CD player for under $1000 that might make a difference? I'm not looking for a magic bullet here, just the most significant place to start. Here's a listing of my components. Your thoughts are appreciated.

i say a good amp will probably serve you better too. i favor tubes. arc; rogue; vtl; cj. one that will suit your musical tastes and power needs. this will probably put the music back in your system that you are looking for.

good luck
