Help upgrade

[mat.1]

I have Denali V2 with sigma Ef. And woo audio WA 33 using furutech dps4.1 power cord.


What is the best and cost effective upgrade ?

1. change Sigma EF to Sigma XC
Change IC to alpha V2 XLR

Or

2. Change Sigma EF to ALpha XC 20amp
Denali to woo audio Alpha NR V2 15 amp
Change IC to alpha XLR.

3. Sigma EF to Denali
Denali to woo audio Sigma NR V2

Thanks for the help.

I vote for #4. Everest 8000 with Sigma XC v2. I have no clue what your “woo” thingy is, so take this for what’s worth ������*♂️

Congrats on the Woo WA33, it’s an awesome piece.

Take a long-term approach and identify what your goal is. If it were me, I’d probably start with the Denali>Woo connection and upgrade the Furutech to a Sigma, then see if you can move from the Sigma EF to the XC.

Thanks Antonmb , thynane..

Thyname , Everest is to much for my budget .

Antonmb, that is I want to do right now, but if other option is better I am open to do it.
Or just Upgrade alpha NR to woo + XLR to make cost effective budget.

What source are you using?

System optimization approach, I generally recommend in changing the PD cable, Sigma EF to Sigma XC. That helps all connected gear to the Denali.

Since I don’t know your source Alpha XLR V2 sounds like a good candidate in a reference system.

Source is chord Hugo TT2 /Mscaler .

So far I think going Sigma XC to your Denali is the most straightforward upgrade.
An alpha V2 XLR from DAC to preamp also seem like a good upgrade.

As others note, later upgrading the Denali to Everest 8000 when funds allow is perfect when you already have correct plumbing done in form of the Sigma XC.

Thanks,
I find sigma V2 NR to woo amp is dark, I better of with DPS 4.1

As for alpha V2 NR from Dac to Preamp , can not do that because of the c7 plug from the dac, better with DPS 4.1 with furutech plug.

As for the Sigma XC to Denali is interesting , but the cost is to much for me , maybe Alpha XC , but this route makes my Sigma V1 will be in the box, because I can not sell used cable with good price in my country .

I already ordered Alpha V2 XLR , hopefully is breathtaking comparing with Alpha V1.
