Interconnect recommendations

One more question for all, if i upgraded all my cables to just the Transparent Super (let alone the Ultra) that would be $10k.
I know I need a new DAC, but would I be better served upgrading my amp to something like a Coda #8 or Pass Labs & keeping my cables or upgrading to lesser cables like the Zavfino or Verita?

Throwing $10k worth of cables at a system with a $1600 DAC doesn’t make a lotta sense to me, and you seem to be starting to go all over the place here with possibilities.  I think it’s better for you to step back and identify what specifically you’re looking for in terms of improvements, which may help focus on what makes the most sense to do next.

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. 

What specific qualities would you like to improve as I’m guessing it includes more than just transparency/detail?  Personally I’d start with the DAC as your cables, while not great, are at least good enough to convey the benefits of what a better DAC can bring and then move on to cables from there.  Just my $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck.

What @soix said.

Get your components sorted out first, then consider cables.

I agree with @soix  Begin with the end in mind, save somey.

👍😂…. Great one! 

Components first! Then interconnects.

Chatgpt can be astonishingly good. As the submission above shows. But you have to validate the particulars. Just when you trust it and ask for the best amps… it’ll throw a TV in the list… or something like that.
