I am running a customized Win 7 PC as a ROON core to an Esoteric K-03x as my all digital front end. The Esoteric is clocked by a Cybershaft OP17 Limited OXCO clock. That train uses Shunyata Alpha cables.
I am an avid reader and watcher of this forum and have taken more interest in the sub-forum of DACs and what it might offer me.
My question is: How far up the chain of new DACS (Lampizator/Aeries Cerat/ etc ) do I need to aim to achieve a step change in sound? I am not above replacing both my preamp and DAC with a one box unit.
I will somehow retain SACD spinning capabilities.
Humbly
