Interconnect recommendations

According to chatGPT, my 2 weakest links in my system, are my DAC & my interconnects. For a number of reasons, I am focusing on the interconnects first, starting with RCA from DAC to pre & balanced from pre to amp. My current interconnects are WBC Mogami 2549. Speaker cables are Transparent Plus. My USB is Cardas clear. I recently added the Stack Audio LAN silencer. I have a Furman P 2400 AR power conditioner & voltage regulator & Maze Audio Litz with billet plugs power cords. 
Budget is open, new or used. Focus is on clarity, transparency and micro details. I want to match or slightly exceed the quality of my existing system. 
My digital side of my system: Aurender N150 > Chord Qutest > PS Audio BHK pre > Moon 330A > KEF Reference 3’s.
If it helps, I am thinking used Dave or one the R2R (Holo KTE etc) as my DAC upgrade. Thanks!

Yes, chatGBT is not the end all be all. It should be used in conjunction with your own research & exactly the reason why I came to this forum. I found it to be excellent in areas of component isolation & cable management. 
 

As I said earlier in my post, I bought the stack audio lan silencer. That purchase was against the chatGPT recommendation. In that case, I listened to audiogoner’s. I did listen to ChatGPT on my Ref 3’s and I love them. 
 

ChatGPT is just one tool in your toolbox.  @mitch2 Thanks!

@ghdprentice  Sounds like ChatGPT scanned the internet and found some of your older postings.  🤣

One more thing on chatGPT, it recommended I swap my Tele’s with my Brimar’s in my BHK to bring a more organic warmth and analog sound to my system. Absolutely correct! And it never complains about one more cable request.

Why don't you use transparent to be consistent with your speaker cables?

Dave is interesting, but I would go with a whole new dac co.  Lumin is very good.

I have the chord tt2  with the pretty lights on top.  It was very good but then I went with the lumin x1 streamer dac and I was so comfortable I'm not even considering any new ones at this point. And I have less interconnect to deal with
