I am curious about what you bought... You didn't say you bought the ref160s, but you implied that. Do you still have the ref5se? Whatever you do... Don't try the ref6se! [emoji1787]
I Have a REF 160s amp, REF6se Preamp, and REF3 Phono stage... the thing that instantly brought the digital side together was the REF9se DAC/CD player. Suddenly the whole chain just snapped into harmony.

I did all the other changes first, the change from 5SE to 6SE was last... the main boost was when all components became ARC REF. Then the 6SE was introduced during breaking of the other components.
