@soix is, in my humble opinion, giving you good advice. Obviously, entirely up to you and I’m happy you are pleased with your purchase. I think it’s true that to get the full value from the very fine component you purchased, your other primary components need to be at least close to the same tier. I think for a DAC That would do your rig justice you likely need to Cross the $5000 threshold. As I suggested in a previous post, I think the Burmester DAC Module might be the optimum solution.
When I bought my 808 Marc five preamplifier, I already had a very competent phono stage- not ultra level, but pretty good. The burmester module for my preamp ran circles around it in ways that I would not have expected. Something about the synergy, shorter signal path, etc.
unfortunately, this stuff is painfully expensive, and there is also a school of thought h it doesn’t matter, but I’m guessing you could get a home audition of some comparable equipment and judge for yourself. At any rate, congratulations on a great purchase and good luck.
