Best imaging up to 3k used?


My speakers are warm, so I am looking for the faster, brighter type of sound.

Great imaging is my no1 goal. (3D , instrument separation)
PRAT no.2 (speed, dynamics, flow)

Redbook files only, DAC / streamer with analogue preamp preferred

@zuio - Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. Are you asking for speaker recommendations, up to $3K, or are you asking for electronics up to $3K? What speakers do you have now, and what electronics?
I would recommend a ps audio jr,very neutral and has the qualities you desire in spades.

Sounds like he wants an analog volume control, plus possibly an analog in. That narrows it down further. Some of the benchmark models have analog in, but I'm not sure that they excel in imaging
