Better DAC or better Streamer


Hello,

Which is better upgrade between the two?

1.  Chord DAVE DAC.

2.  Nagra Streamer. 

I am currently using Chord M Scaler with Hugo TT2 DAC.  Also using Astell&Kern SP3000 DAP for streaming the music.

Thank you,

I’d love to continue the discussion, but I’d much rather listen to wonderful sounding music through my jitter minimized and noise diminished streamer. laugh

If anyone is still using SPDIF, well, it is their problem.

Unless they have a really good coax cable - then not so much.

@knownothing +1. I never cared for a coaxial connection until I got an Acoustic Zen mc2 cable. That made a noticeable improvement. I had used cables by Harmonic Tech, XLO, Morrow, and others.
