McCormack DNA1 options

I own a McCormack DNA1 and a TCL-1 preamp and Merlin TMS-SE monitors[which I really like].

While I have been very pleased with this combo I do find
it, at times, a tad forwards, somewhat grainy, and harsh/tizzy esp. at the higher frequencies.

I listen to a wide range of music, esp acoustic and vocals.
I'm in a position to upgrade and I was wondering how best to invest.

A) Get the DNA1 upgraded
B) Purchase a tube preamp
C) other ?

Thanks for your input

All things being equal, the McCormack's are typically anything BUT "grainy, tizzy or forward". While there is probably room to move in terms of improvements with the upgrades, i would look elsewhere in your system first before thinking that this will be the cure. Sean
