linnie

So this is really my predicament, stay with linn and move up their product levels or for separate streamer/dac/amp. Akurate does get expensive, is it worth it ? I have listened to a few dacs recently, chord hugo and April music dp1 both sound soo different to the majik. Is the dac in the akurate better than these?

Have mark and Daniel speakers which I love, thinking better renderer or dac?

Any thoughts on linn ds? I have their entry level majik dsm and it's very good but got the bug and need something better, any suggestions?
