Worth Upgrading Marantz 1504 AV Receiver with Power Amp?


Hi guys, my speakers are Silverline SR-17 and I was thinking about connecting the pre outs of my Marantz AV receiver to a power amp for improved sound quality.

I would like to stay under 1K and am open to used gear such as the Parasound A23 and other Class AB amps. With my budget and gear, will I get much of a bump in sound quality compared to the amp in my AV receiver? I stream Tidal through a chromecast using optical out.

not sure re SQ of chromecast

but get the Parasound from one of the many dealers that allow free returns and do a listening test
