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.
New DAC or New Speakers?
I’m planning to blow some money on my system and can’t decide if I should upgrade my DAC or my speakers. I’m going all in on one or the other, not both.
I have ethernet and fiber optic switches feeding a Lumin U2 mini modded with an external power supply. Two USB reclockers going into an LTA Aero DAC. Running a VAC Sigma 170 tube amp to Harbeth SHL 5+ XD speakers with a sub.
Everything sounds great, and I recommend all said equipment, but I have a chance to make an upgrade. I’m considering swapping the Harbeths for some Devore O96s or swapping the Aero for either a Totaldac, or maybe a used Aries Cerat Helene.
I can’t decide which route to take....

@mdalton Now that you mention it, those Fyne F703SP speakers look pretty dope. Will try to demo them. Thanks :) |
@jmrrobbie1 I've always been interested in the Berkeley stuff. I'm sure your DAC sounds great. |
@jpag If a used Totaldac pops up, imma grab it. Enjoy! |
