How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax


I have one of the first generation Linn Klimax Renew. The audio board is the later revision with Dynamik power supply.

I have no compliant, but what to get a sense what is the next step in sound quality? I know I can always step up to the latest Linn Klimax, but the cost is prohibitive.

The rest of the gear is Harbeth M30 and Ayre AX-7e

If you have the first generation of Klimax Renew - DS/0 - and if you don't want to spend more than $15K, then the only way to improve the SQ of you system is the second generation of Klimax Renew - DS/1. There are plenty of them on the secondhand market. The price is between $5-6K. For the price new Renew DS/1 is a great bargain! No DAC+digital transport system under $15K can compete with this device.
