Rob's System

[Kunter]

Hi,

My system consists of:
- Devialet 250
- Vivid Audio v1.5 Speakers
- Audioquest CV 8 speaker Cable
- Audioquest NRG 5 power Cable on the Devialet
- Audioquest Diamond Ethernet between Time Capsule (Router) and Devialet
- Macbook Pro streaming Itunes, Qobuz, etc wireless to my Time Capsule

What would be the most sensible upgrade in your opinion when trying to improve sound quality (not planning to upgrade the Devialet or speakers any time soon).
- Cabling (power cords / speaker cable)?
- Power Regenerator like the PS Audio Power Plant? I don't have a dedicated spur and getting one is difficult in my living situation. Would getting better wall outlets help me in any way or is this a waste of money when not getting a dedicated spur?
- Grounding with Entreq products?
- Adding a streamer like an Aurender X100 or a Totaldac server?

All advice is welcome

Rob

Welcome...

In my case, the order of importance would be:
0. Second Devialet
1. Decent source. Either spend on a dedicated/optimised pc solution or if you have the means, something like the Totaldac Server... If you go with PC, dont use it for anything else, and connect with direct ethernet.
2. Power line upgrades. Includes power cables, conditioning, dedicated line.
2.5 Entreq
3. Speaker cables.

This is a looong (and sometimes expensive) journey. Enjoy !!!
