Most of the dacs will be a sideways change at best. The idea about a sub is an excellent one. Don't know your listening room so I cannot recommend size. I just went through a sub purchase exercise and picked the Paradigm sub 12 after listening to the Rel B series and the JL. I wouldn't even consider the B and W sub.
Upgrade from DACMagic? B&W 805S rig
Here is my current system:
B&W 805S Speakers
Cambridge Audio 840a integrated amp
Cambridge Audio DACMagic dac.
Would it be worth it to upgrade from the DACmagic to take full advantage of my speakers? If so, does anyone have any DAC recommendations? I've heard the Benchmark DAC-1 is good. But is it really that much better than the DACMagic? Don't really want to spend over 1500. Right now I think my setup sounds pretty good.
