Hi, I have a basic 2-channel, budget system that I put together a few years ago. It has some very good components, but I don't think I'm getting the best sound out of it. Plus, there's next to no low end, unfortunately. It consists of:
2 Tannoy Eyris DC1 Bookshelf Speakers with Dual Concentric Drivers (the predecessor to the Tannoy Revolution Signature DC6)
Arcam A18 Amplifier
PS Audio Digital Link III DAC
Blue Jeans Cable Interconnects
And a source of 256kps AAC to ALAC streamed over an Airport Express connected via optical to the DAC.
I don't know what's wrong. I know the speakers have a great high end and vocals sound fantastic. And that when I tried a lesser DAC (the Music Hall modded) it took away a lot of high end and gave the speakers a lot of base back. So am I just using the wrong DAC or amp now? Would the Airport Express or optical cable take away base? Any ideas?
