Audiophile Recommendation Solicited
Looking to enhance my Volumio system and can do it in one of two ways.
Choice 1) Replace my Volumio Raspberry Pi 5 set up with the new Volumio RIVO + streamer. This streamer would then feed into my existing Peachtree Carina 150 DAC/Amplifier.
Choice 2) Keep the existing Raspberry Pi 5 setup but replace the Peachtree amp with the new version called the Peachtree Carina X which offers better internal components and more power, although the same Sabre 9068 Dac. Amplifier with DAC - Carina X Integrated Amplifier | Peachtree Audio
Also, I have Kef R3 meta speakers, and Kef KC62 sub.
Although on paper option #2 is much more expensive, Peachtree offers a trade in system that would render the two options equal.
If I am looking to improve soundstage and imaging and wandering if either of the options would be superior.
