New DAC or New Speakers?

@mdalton I demo'd quite a few speakers, including Fyne and Proac (they were great speakers) and Spendor 2/3 Classics (that I really did not like) - the Devores were the only ones that wowed me. Hard to say that the wow factor wasn't attributable to the amazing room, the 50K DAC feeding them, etc.... But it was the only room that blew me away. 

I like the idea that they're more sensitive. I've discovered that I am a tube guy for sure. I love my VAC Sigma 170 amp that puts out 85 watts and I plan to use it with the Devores, but I see myself moving to a SET amp in my future. 

@wsrrsw Yeah, I recently learned that the room isTHE most important part of your system. I've got a buncha GIK

I have a totaldac D1, the least expensive of the bunch. I love it! It and HQ player give me give me the analog sound that I'm looking for.

cool.  am considering a move to a SET myself.  Have a long list of highly efficient speakers I’m trying to hear over time before I leap.  Alas, most are well above $20k!  But Devore is on my list as well.  Also, really encourage you to check out WVLs - they look unassuming, but are shockingly good.

@mdalton Now that you mention it, those Fyne F703SP speakers look pretty dope. Will try to demo them. Thanks :)
