New Amp vs New Source for my Wilson Yvettes
Hey All!
I am curious on people's opinion, here is my larger system: Auralic Aries Mini (Streaming) Classe Sigma SSP (DAC/Pre) Classe CA-2300 (Amp) Wilson Yvettes I am thinking to make a big upgrade on either my Amp or the DAC. My current narrowed down choices are: A good deal on D'Agostino Progression Monos Either Linn Klimax Catalyst DS (or DSM) or DCS Rossini Based on your thoughts, which would should I consider sooner rather than later? Alan

I would replace both of your Classe pieces. Most importantly I would do the source first.

That Delta Series CA-2300 is a nice amp. Plenty of power for the Yvettes. Think I would also go for the DAC upgrade from your current 24bit to a 32bit.

Yeah I am leaning towards the source too. It's hard to pass up a good deal on a d'agostino amp but I do think the classe amps have treated me well!
Any preference on the linn vs dcs?
