to this loonie bin of enthusiasts. :)

From my perspective, there is nothing more challenging than attempting to replicate orchestral music. Not that I don't enjoy other genres, but there is a scale of performance and reference to the sound of unamplified live unlike any other.

What I and others find helpful is to fully describe your system and environment as each plays a role in the outcome. As an example, click my moniker (everything in blue is a link) and you'll be led to a page with options to see my stuff along with some pics. You're free to create your own if desired.

Source is most definitely a player. What are your(s)?

Thanks, e-stat! Good tips.

Running a Cambridge MXN10 as both Streamer and DAC. Actual source is high res from Qobuz.

  I suspect that is your weak link.
  
  While I find it amazing what can be done with miniaturization and budget today, that doesn't always translate to better quality. While this is an AXN, the differences between it and MXN are largely in form factor. Not sure why they chose this case.
  
  Audible performance does increase beyond a $400 budget covering both functions.
  
  While there are countless available alternatives, I would recommend considering separating the endpoint from the DAC.
