As an owner of a set of WP 5.1's (albeit with WP8 drivers and parts) and as a former owner of ML gear.... my suggestion would be to ditch your current digital (yes, that includes the transport) and buy yourself a great CDP. Though I rarely like to plug gear that I own on the forums, I'd strongly encourage you to get an AMR CD777 and be done with it.
What is my next step to a better sound ?
I am looking for educated opinions from audiophiles that have owned are listened to systems similar to mine.
I have a Mark Levinson no.380 preamp and a ML no.334 amp with Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers,serie 7 tweeters.Arcam Rdac with Teddy Pardo power supply.Transparent plus cables and MIT shotgun xlr interconnects.
I really am not sure what component i need to change to step up the ladder towards a better HIFI sound.
Preamp ? Ml 380 S ? 326 S ? or maybe another make ?
I was suggested to change my preamp for a SPECTRAL 15
My transport is a 250$ Sony bluray player ,i dont believe that buying anything more expensive will hep with the sound ,its going through DAC anyway,correct me if you think im wrong.
I listen to Bluaudio and SACD SHM.
