Hi,
Basically I want to upgrade my Hi-Fi and make it sound better than it currently does now.
At the moment I have:
Since upgrading the speaker cable from what was 80p a metre stuff, I have noticed a definite increase in clarity from the speakers. However, I still want to upgrade further and improve upon this.
What do you should I be looking at buying next? Should I upgrade to a higher quality external usb DAC? Buy a new amp? Buy new speakers?
Considering nearly all music comes from my laptop, then really there is not much point in me buying a new cd player. Again, the same goes with a tuner; I listen to the radio a fair amount, but not enough to spend a few hundred on something which I believe won't make that much difference due to it just being an fm tuner.
So, in short, what should I look at buying next, and how much should I be spending to get a noticeable increase in quality, for reference the amp and speakers cost about £350 originally.

- Amp - Denon DM31 amp/tuner/cd player combo
- Speakers - Tannoy MX1's
- Creative Soundblaster external soundcard plugged into the amp
- £2.50 per metre silver plated speaker cable
- £8 3.5mm to dual phono between soundcard and amp
