Luxman L-507uXII Upgrade

[howardr]

I've had my my Luxman L-507uXII for a year now, and thinking about adding a DAC or Pre-amp (speakers Focal Aria 936, Cambridge CXN v2 streamer, Mofi Ultradeck w Mastertracker cartridge). Happy with the system, but like most of us, looking for a little more. Not looking to get rid of anything, although I might consider an upgrade for the CXN with a higher quality DAC/streamer. What have you found to kick that Luxman up another step?

I've had my my Luxman L-507uXII for a year now, and thinking about adding a DAC or Pre-amp (speakers Focal Aria 936, Cambridge CXN v2 streamer, Mofi Ultradeck w Mastertracker cartridge).

What have you found to kick that Luxman up another step?

I have a Gold Note DS-10 and the Gold Note PSU-10 EVO power supply running into a Luxman 550AXii and am extremely pleased. Prior to the Gold Note I tried the Cambridge and a Bluesound Node. Neither of those two units sounded as good to me as a Jolida tube DAC.

I leave the Gold Note powered up 24/7.

I'm planning on eventually running a dedicated ethernet cable to the Gold Note but in the meantime I'm using Eero mesh devices with excellent results.

Hope this helps.
