Hi

I am new to this forum and just need some honest advice please. I currently have a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC that I use with a Musical Fidelity M5 amp.
I stream "lossless" Apple music from an Iphone via the lightning / usb adapter, using a USB cable to the DAC, which sends it to the amp and speakers. It sounds good but I think it could improve with some expert knowledge.

1. The DAC is a few years old. Is it worth upgrading to another similar DAC?
2. What about something like the Maranz HD DAC1, second hand?
2. Should I just upgrade the MF DAC's original power supply to something else? Seemingly ifi has some great options?
3 Should I rather get a music streamer with built in DAC for R10,000 - R15,000?

I know it is very subjective questions, but what would you advise please?
