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 ended up with Dave and Mscaler couple months ago and really happy with it.  Next will be streamer.  Thank you everyone.

congratulations @OP. 

After you get settled with that, after the streamer acquisition, in time, look up this at-home remastering software, and read some of the testimonials - it was developed for the Dave by Dave users, and is a component level upgrade for it and other compatible DAC's, like my T+A DAC200. One needs to get over the hurdle of getting a good computer and plenty of storage for files, but it is worth it. My remastered redbook CD's sound better than 24/192 Qobuz files.

Is Lumin U2 mini any good?

@ghdprentice do you think Lumin U2 mini is better than AK SP3000?  

PS this streamer will be using in the car and so far only U2 mini that can convert to 12V DC input. 

Regards,

Tony
