I suggest that you work on room improvements, before spending more money on a digital front end.
The room contributes A LOT to the sound quality (or lack of).
Having moved several times while keeping the same equipment and cables, I have learned this lesson over and over.
Invest in a nice area rug with underpadding, install large/thick curtains, buy a few extra upholstered items. Cover all glass surfaces and hang paintings or posters on your walls, never glass-covered prints.
Good luck
