Power unit


My current setup.  I have a dedicated 20amp circuit going into top of line Furutech wall receptacle.  That is plugged into a   Shunyata Research MPC-12 Power Conditioner (with SSF38 that i purchased used in 2019.  

Plugged into this is my rig.  Lumin U1 mini feeding a LTA AERO DAC, feeding a Primaluna evo 300 integrated amp which feeds Golden Ear Triton 1R speakers.   The amp is plugged directly to wall.  Everything else into the Shunyata.  

What would be a upgrade to the Shunyata?  would like to keep it under 3k ish new or used.  

Thanks in Advance

Congratulations on having a top rate power delivery system. I don't think it would be beneficial to spend any more money there. It already is probably your strongest component. 

I would recommend looking at the rest of your system. Overall it is strong and well balanced performance wise. So, it would be best to take you time and start at the beginning. Think about taking your system to a new level over time. Each upgrade will be significant... then at the end you get an extra reward for synergy. 

I would begin with the speakers. You would want to bring those up to the next level first. That will likely take at least $6K or more. But I would take your time. Rethink what you want for the next level. Audition major speaker types. 

Alternatively you might get an incremental bump by upgrading your streamer to the next level. I would look into an Aurender or higher end Lumin U2. Long-term look at the U2 purchase as the first step in your next level system as well.  

Thanks for input.  Yes the next logical upgrade would be the streamer.  As far as speakers, I love the Triton 1r's due to their powered bass built in, allows for a tube amp to only deal with mid/tweeter.   My DAC is the brand new LTA AERO and at 4k, it blows away units i've heard for 3 times the cost.
