New DAC, or new amp?


I've got that upgrade itch. I am trying to smoothe out the sound, and get rid of some grain. I am trying to keep the spending to around $1000. I have an NAD integrated, being fed by Cambridge audio Azur 640C cdp going through a musical fidelity tube buffer. SOnus Faber COncerto speakers, and a rel sub. Cardas Cross cabling throughout. My question is what to upgrade to accomplish this goal and stay withing budget. I was thinking of ading a new DAC (MF Trivista 21). Or, should I really upgrade the integrated. Imaging could stand to be better too. Alright guys and gals.....lets hear those ideas!

Have you considered selling the tubed buffer and the NAD making room for separates? That would give you a larger budget. It should be enough in there to get a preamp,amplifier along with a Dac(if necesssary)...if you shop smartly.
